It Is So Much Easier

  • to complain rather than be grateful;
  • to keep peace rather than make peace;
  • to rely on human effort rather than divine grace;
  • to be unrestrained rather than self-controlled;
  • to say what we think rather than bridling our tongue;
  • to think of me rather than you;
  • to envy the unrighteous rather than count our blessings;
  • to indulge the desires of the flesh rather than walk in holiness;
  • to veg in front of the TV rather than read God's Word;
  • to do things our way rather than yield to God's means and ends.
The Law came in so that the transgression would increase;
but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more . . .
Romans 5:20

Grace swallows up our weaknesses, overpowering them to allow us to live righteously unto eternal life in Christ Jesus!

My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.
2 Corinthians 12:9
