To me, at the heart of grace is something that is undeserved. You will be loving the unlovable, forgiving the unforgivable. You'll be showing mercy instead of measuring merit. You'll be giving people the benefit of the doubt, not judging them by their worst possible moment.

You'll be showing mercy instead of measuring merit. You'll be giving people the benefit of the doubt, not holding them to or judging them by their worst possible moment. It's something that's expansive and in one sense actually doesn't make sense, but it can change lives. It really is the very best of humanity, I think.

Grace is not something that's just inherited or just easy. It's not Kleenex and puppies and like a simple path. To me, there is a really powerfully difficult thing about grace. I see it as requiring a lot of grit. You can decide to be that way. You can decide to live that way. If you decide to forgive someone, it's not the easiest thing to do necessarily.

And you might have to decide to forgive again. You might have to decide that's how you really want to be. and you're going to work towards it and you've got to train yourself towards it.
