I am under God's grace

 If you want to know what a person believes, the surest way is not to hear her recite Scripture, but to watch how she acts.

When we say those “if only” words, We are choosing to please ourselves rather than choosing to please God. 

Don’t urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay… . .May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me.
Ruth 1: 16-17

♪ When you look me in the eyes

I catch a glimpse of heaven ♪

♫ ♪ It may sound absurd, but don’t be naive
Even heroes have the right to bleed
I may be disturbed, but won’t you concede
Even heroes have the right to dream
It’s not easy to be me ♪ ♫

And if it is by grace, it is no longer by works, otherwise grace will no longer be grace.

Romans 11:6
