"Grace releases and affirms. It doesn't smother...." - Quote by Charles R Swindoll
Grace releases and affirms. It doesn't smother. Grace values the dignity of individuals. It doesn't destroy. Grace supports and encourages. It isn't jealous or suspicious.

More on Grace
“When we see a soul whose acts are all regal, graceful, and pleasant as roses, we must thank God that such things can be and are.”
“Grace is that thing that shows up to guide you when you've done the first two steps and you're intent on doing something larger than just yourself. That's when all of the sudden things are great.”
“I am certain that I never did grow in grace one-half so much anywhere as I have upon the bed of pain.”
More on Acceptance
“The truth sticks in our throats with all the sauces it is served with: it will never go down until we take it without any sauce at all.”
“Like everyone else, you want to learn the way to win, but never to accept the way to lose - to accept defeat. To learn to die is to be liberated from it. So when tomorrow comes you must free your ambitious mind and learn the art of dying!”
“I love everybody. My heart's open to everybody.”
