They gave each other companionship. Neither one smothering the other. Neither one distancing themselves from the other. Each one seeking the calm soothing companionship of the other.

We do not earn God’s grace. We make choices that align our will with God’s and this results in an increase in our capacity to recognize our experience of His grace.

Our feeling of failure is directly proportional to the distance we think we should be able to run.

We trust that God knows our potential to grow. We trust that God’s Grace will help us grow. We trust that because of His perfect love we will not be abandoned, even though bad things will occur. This is why our faith in God’s perfect love for us casteth out all fear.
