Grace and mercy

Ann Voskamp writes about grace, mercy, and Snowmageddon today.

Mercy is about not getting; Mercy is God not giving us what we deserve.

Grace is about getting; Grace is God giving us gifts, exactly what we don’t deserve.

This isn’t Snowmageddon — this is Graceageddon.

Graceageddon. It won’t stop coming, covering your mistakes, covering you in love. There’s got to be more than 5 feet out there in the orchard?

We get grace! Gift upon gift, grace upon grace, covering mistakes — a daily canvas to make art that is always seen from heaven — art. that. is. eternal.

That’s what all this is: Graceageddon. Grace is one-way love that just keeps coming.
