"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" ~Eph 2:8~
It is the gift of God that we receive salvation. He saves us by His own free will choice, lovingly forgiven, you and me. And anyone who will accept this gift. I know it breaks His heart to see us shoot our own wounded...us, His children, fighting among ourselves, running each other's character in the ground...how easily we forget the gift that cost Him so much. But for the grace of God, that lost or strayed sister would be me...and has been me several times. His grace covered me to save me, and His mercy covers me to forgive me when I stray. Lets love one another and lift up our fallen family in Christ... He still picks me up when I fall.
