Grace is knowing that love is yours, regardless of your behavior.
Right?
The idea is such a beautiful one to explain to your children.
My advice?
Sit down and explain it to them if you have not yet done so.
I love you because you are mine.
It’s nothing more than that.
“Grace is when you finally stop keeping score and when you realize that God never was, that his game is a different one entirely. Grace is when the silence is so complete that you can hear your own heartbeat, and right within your ribs, God’s beating heart, too.”
