The Grand Unwrapping

The bar is high for what a human life can look like, but don’t fear that it is a demanding God trying to whip you to the top. That is not who He is. 

Yes, the possibilities are huge, but so is the grace available so we could step past our shortcomings and mistakes, so is the mercy that pours out new every morning, so is the love that is lavished upon us and the Savior who took the nails Himself so that every hole that could drain away our life would never have to be the last word. 

The only thing we have to produce is the humility to receive all that is offered.  The prize is immense; the cost is ironically low, and purely honest.  He is never shocked by what we are.  He is never put off by what we need.  None of us are too much for Him.  He is the immense Invitation and the source of everything that is good.

This might be a good day to start letting Him unwrap the gift that is your life.
