“Grace comes first. God meets us where we are and longs to be in relationship with us. When we can allow ourselves to be loved by God and experience God’s grace, that grace can so astonish us that all we can do is change course. Once we’ve experienced grace we can begin the work we’ve been given to do. We can see that the hands that forgive, console, heal, and offer hospitality must become our own.”
Scripture text is Luke 15: 11-32
