These go to God and say, "Its quite embarrassing to keep coming here so often. I'm sure I'll get it right this time. But for now, can I have a little more grace?"
Those go to God and say, "To save me you will need infinite grace", He says, "Infinite Grace is what you will get." They say, "Thank you".
These are obsessed with trying to please God,
Those are obsessed with enjoying Him.
These look to the Cross as a headstart,
Those look to the cross as their victory.
At the feast, their servings are scanty,
At the feast, the one that has infinite food, they are generous with their servings and thankful in their hearts.
These are not self-righteous
Those are not self-righteous either
These keep trying
Those quit trying
They take grace just enough to patch up their performance,
Those are so busy taking grace, they don't start performing, and yet the perform much better.
Happiness is a scarcity with these,
Joy is overflowing with those.
