āMy message, unchanged for more than fifty years, is this: God loves you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because nobody is as they should be. It is the message of graceā¦A grace that pays the eager beaver who works all day long the same wages as the grinning drunk who shows up at ten till fiveā¦A grace that hikes up the robe and runs breakneck toward the prodigal reeking of sin and wraps him up and decides to throw a party no ifs, ands, or butsā¦This grace is indiscriminate compassion. It works without asking anything of usā¦Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try to find something or someone it cannot cover. Grace is enoughā¦Jesus is enough.ā ~Brennan Manning
