Highlights from the book ...I am going to try again! Highlights from the book Extravagant Grace by Barbara Dugud: "What if growing in grace is more about humility, dependence, and exalting Christ than it is defeating sin? ...Since we know God does all things for his own glory and the good of his people, his decision to leave Christians with many struggles with sin must also somehow serve to glorify him and benefit his people. ...If the job of the Holy Spirit in sanctification is to make Christians more sin-free, then he isn't doing a very good job. ...If the job of the Holy Spirit is to make you more humble and dependent on Christ, more grateful for his sacrifice and more adoring of him as a wonderful Savior, then he might be doing a very, very good job even though you still sin every day. ...You may think that you would actually bring God more glory through your strength and obedience than through failure. Yet the Sovereign Lord of the Universe appears to disagree with you. God is supremely interested in the glory of His Son and delights in the way that glory is revealed in his love for his wicked people who continue to need his grace and mercy day after day. Accepting your weakness opens up new avenues of delight in your Savior-new corridors of worship and awe as you contemplate all that He is to you as you really are, inside and out. ...We are more sinful than we ever imagined and more loved than we ever dared to hope."<br />The author wrote about her girls playing princesses. She talks about Disney and Barbies too. She made me think of you! Except for her serious weight problem:) mary johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18372642255336605712noreply@blogger.com
