Is anyone else having a difficult time wrapping their minds, or perhaps more importantly, their souls around this idea of abrasive grace? I don’t have any difficulty at all believing in and extending grace to everyone else, but when it comes to me, I’m not so sure.

How about you? Do you believe (trust!) that you belong to God? That you are God’s, and you don’t have to do anything to deserve that love? Or do you continue to work for the love you’re already immersed in? And at what cost?
