Understanding the depths of God's grace is essential if we are to ever live in the flow of the Spirit. Grace is to receive something without earning it or deserving it. Once given, grace does not need to be paid back. Grace sees nothing of greater or lesser value in its recipient. It's the same for everybody.  Grace is never withdrawn if it is not appreciated, acknowledged or embraced.  Jesus sees the rot in all of us, yet he likes us and is for us. It's the message of the Cross.
