I've been remiss in updating this blog, but what can I say....Grace interrupted my life. Grace, as I've come to understand it these past five years since becoming a Christian is Christ's unmerited favor and forgiveness of my sins despite my rebellion and rejection of God's commands. Now, as a Michael's wife, each day I'm seized anew with not just how sinful and selfish I can be BUT God's love through Michael's love and gracious care of me.
I read this quote recently by Bono, the U2 front man recently and I thought how interesting that he captured how God interrupts and reminds me of love that I know I do not deserve. Soli Deo Gloria.
"Bono: You see, at the center of all religions is the idea of Karma. You know, what you put out comes back to you: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, or in physics—in physical laws—every action is met by an equal or an opposite one. It's clear to me that Karma is at the very heart of the universe. I'm absolutely sure of it. And yet, along comes this idea called Grace to upend all that "as you reap, so you will sow" stuff. Grace defies reason and logic. Love interrupts, if you like, the consequences of your actions, which in my case is very good news indeed, because I've done a lot of stupid stuff.mercy and kindness to me through the graces "
