"When he came, and saw the grace of God,
he was glad, and exhorted them all
to remain faithful to the Lord, with steadfast purpose."
(Acts 11:23)

--for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his,
To the father through the features of men's faces.

ReplyDeleteThis week, I want to search for grace as well.
