Everything we receive from God must come by grace through faith. But all knowledge of faith must be built on a clear understanding of grace, because even faith comes to us by grace, as a gift. Everything in our lives depends, not on our merits or abilities or works, but on God's willingness to use His infinite power to meet our needs. This is grace.

My entire Christian experience was a struggle until God gave me an amazing word about grace. He said, "Grace is you letting Me do what I want to do on this earth through you." And He let me know that He is eager to give us all the grace we need.
