Grace beyond my failure

http://www.aholyexperience.com/2012/08/because-if-us-christians-really-care-and-we-really-do-right/

Guilt-induced devotion fails to declare what grace is and does and dreams. Like the woman who poured perfume on Jesus' feet, we do what we can, when we can, how we can. Grace does not question why me or why not her, nor why then or why only now, nor even will ever the time come. Grace must be received with a breathy, wonderous "Ohhhhhhhhh…! For me?… Me? For me! Even me…

Make no mistake: God's timing is always perfect.

And I should always be undone by my own apathy.

Always undone by grace poured out anywhere, everywhere, all the time, running down pierced head, hands, heart… for we.
