Unprecedented . . .

"You ask me, "What's the greatest act of faith?" To me it is to look in the mirror of God's word and see all my faults, all my sins, all my shortcomings and to believe that God loves me exactly as He says He does."                                                                                                                               - Paul Washer


As a young woman, it seemed a monumental act of faith to love and forgive others their faults, their sins, their shortcomings. But, after experiencing more than a few trips and thuds and falls of my own, I discovered that the most challenging person I'd ever extend grace, forgiveness and love to is to - me. This improbable feat of believing that God accepts and truly loves me seems an unprecedented miracle. And in truth, it is a miracle, a miracle of His love.
