all is grace

life is not easy.

i find myself dripping with anticipation of what this new year may bring for us, knowing full well that hearing the voice of the Holy Spirit more clearly is often met with discomfort, with pruning.

tearing down and building up. seems that God is ever in this business.

i hear hosea 6.

come let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but He will heal us; He has injured us but He will bind up our wounds. .......let us press on to acknowledge Him.

i feel God tearing away ugly parts of me. i feel Him ripping, shredding away any sense of entitlement that i might be holding on to. my view of what is "fair" and "just" is being capsized.

i deserve nothing. all is grace.

thankful this afternoon for 3 reminders of that profound truth.
