the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

"So you say, you've given up you'll never try again
You've run the race, you did your best and what a race it's been
But have you tried leaning on the everlasting arms?
Have you tried coming to the Master as you are?
You say grace is free, but i feel like I steal it every day
I'm so unclean, look what this sinful life has done
But have you tried leaning on the everlasting arms?
Have you tried coming to the Master as you are?"
-Brandon Freeman

These lyrics written by my cousin echo my sentiments exactly.
Grace is new every morning. Yet somehow I feel we all abuse it. Every day.
That's why the love of God is so difficult to understand. We judge each other based on looks, words, actions, and faults. Yet, nothing of such even phases God. Not even our difficulties, downfalls, mistakes, etc. The love of God far surpasses any human love that can be given. No matter how many times we make a mistake, Jesus loves us. That's unconditional love. At it's finest.
I feel like i steal grace, but yet Jesus is standing arms wide open, offering his mercy. This should make us all strive not to fall, yet to get up when we do. Come boldly before the Throne right? Let's do it.
