Am I the only one?
I really try to believe and have faith that no matter what I've done, and no matter what I may struggle with, God's grace covers me for eternity. I think it's the most amazing thing and the most difficult thing (at least for me) to understand about Christianity. I mean seriously folks, what did I do to deserve the love of the creator of the universe?
I think all earthly love is conditional...well not conditional, but maybe situational. Bear with me as I ramble on here.
I know that sounds weird, and it's just me typing here, but even if you are married or you have kids...that love is conditional. Would you love your kids if they weren't yours? Would you love your spouse if he was someone elses? Would you love your siblings or parents if they weren't yours?
God's love...the love and compassion that we can find through Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, is unconditional. Sometimes its just too much for me to comprehend. I'm hoping that as I mature as a Christian that it will become an easier concept to understand.
I just don't feel very worthy of it sometimes. Then, I know that's me not having enough faith, so then I feel guilty for not believing. Sheesh. Why am I so hard on myself.
Oh well...I know this is a strange post, but I will end with this...If you pray please send up a little prayer for me, but send up some big prayers for Stellan. I follow MckMama's blog and have since before this little one was born. He's struggling a bunch right now.
Love and such...

We don't deserve His grace...that's what makes it so amazing. There is so much that we don't understand about God's love...our wimpy little brains just can't process it. For once, try not to have the answers, just sit back, relax and enjoy the grace as it flows your way. And remember...God's grace is conditional...we can receive His grace only if we accept His Son as the one true Messiah and our only way to God. Once we do that, then we can have God's grace.
