This is very true. My life has changed by finally accepting God’s HUGE grace and engaging in an actual relationship with Him. It was only when I actually “let go” and let God’s LOVE motivate me, that I wanted to live a life that is pure.

A further note on grace: Some people may confuse grace with compassion, and vice versa; but the two are very different. Compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. But Grace (in the Christian sense) is a gift freely given by God to someone who has not merited it. That grace and gift is the gift of salvation through Jesus Christ.
