Get seized! There are many mistakes and missteps in life. Packed with chances to go wrong, moments of shame, and the temptation to "do it yourself." There's a lot of pressure to be independent, but that's not the life God provides. The world will push you to put in more effort and work more efficiently in order to care for yourself and maybe achieve success. However, the path of the cross will lead you to the point at which you give up trying, pushing, and self-initiated endeavors in order to fall into God's limitless, freeing, and revitalizing grace! Imagine being pushed by love rather than by yourself. Imagine giving your life to Jesus rather than attempting self-salvation. Could you picture giving up your worries for such tranquility that beyond comprehension? Being at ease and liberated rather than tense and worried? You may envision grace if you can see yourself enjoying God rather than attempting to please him. So forward! Leap off the self-sufficiency cliff. Break free from legalism. Step off the guilt- and condemnation-pier. That's the only way you'll fall into the protective arms of your loving father, the one who always manages to grasp you in the palm of his grace.
