Prodigal: I’m swingin’ my legs from a dime after that conversation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Me: There is room for grace don’t worry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is from the book In the Grip of Grace by Max Lucado<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had God removed temptation, Paul may never have embraced God’s grace. Only the hungry value a feast, and Paul was starving. The self-given title on his office door read, “Paul, Chief of Sinners.” No pen ever articulated grace like Paul’s. That may be because no person ever appreciated grace like Paul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Had God stilled the whips, Paul may have never known love. “If I were burned alive for preaching the Gospel but didn’t love others, it would be no value whatsoever” ( 1Cor. 13:3). Persecution distills motives. In the end Paul’s motives were distilled to one force, “the love of Christ controls us” (2 Cor. 5:14).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be kind and loving to each other, and forgive each other just as God forgave you in Christ. Ephesians 4:32<\/p>\n\n\n\n
