A Common Thread
We define ourselves by our work, careers, and accomplishments. We feel that if we’ve worked for it, we deserve it. We own our dignity and dress ourselves in inward and outward rewards. Yet, when others are rewarded with a position or opportunity we feel we earned, we are irate. Here’s the kicker: God’s grace is not earned, but given. Earning makes us feel entitled, but in receiving, we are humbled. We find lasting relief when we receive His grace. As frustrating and unfair as this unearned gift seems, you must rest and receive.
