The Relentless Love of Grace
 
Philippians 2:12b-13 (NLT) And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
 
Tear down the walls of pride and shame you barricade behind each time you mess up. Stop hiding away until you think God has moved on from seeing you in your sin. Stop waiting for a ‘good feeling’ in order for you to believe that God is ‘in like’ with you again. Break free from this way of thinking! God doesn’t just like you – He loves you always and forever! There’s never a breech in God’s love for you! You have got to stop living as though you have to earn God’s approval! You can’t earn it, and you don’t have to! He approves of you! That’s why He created You! Embrace this, and take advantage of what it means for you! The relentless love of grace – God’s grace – is yours through Jesus Christ, and He’s here to love you and help you to become all that God has already approved for you to be!
