We Deserve Everything God has Given Us

So when I say “no, no you don’t deserve the forgiveness of your family, the resources others have invested in your recovery, or their commitment to supporting you no matter how your struggles impact their lives,” I follow that with “but you get it anyways.” I have received abundant grace and mercy for my own short comings, mistakes, and sins, and I cannot contain my excitement when I share that others have the same abundant grace and mercy available to them. We do not deserve it, and in God’s infinite love for us, He deeply desires that we take hold of the gifts that He offers. What a blessing when those gifts also come in the form of care from our loved ones!
