“A thankful heart is constantly extending grace because it has received grace. Love and grace are uneven. God poured out on his own Son the criticism I deserve. Now he invites me to pour out undeserving grace on someone who has hurt me. Grace begets grace. This husband is taking a journey into the heart of God. Welcome to the life of God! That's what a life of grace feels like, especially in the beginning.”

“The point of Christianity isn’t to learn a bunch of truths so you don’t need God anymore. We don’t learn God in the abstract. We are drawn into His life.”
