Grace Brings Freedom

The freedom to fall is also the freedom to rise. It’s precisely in our failure, our experience of poverty, weakness, emptiness that we come to experience God’s restoration and healing love.

  2. It is also in our joys and experiences of God in God's creation that we come to a realization of the healing love of our Creator.

  3. It's in the rough times that I experience the greatest spiritual growth, but usually it's only after the rough period has passed that I realize that. As you say, DP, eventually.
