you unconditionally, as you are and not as you should be, because
nobody is as they should be. It is the message of grace ... A grace

as the grinning drunk who shows up at ten till five ... A grace that
hikes up the robe and runs breakneck toward the prodigal reeking
of sin and wraps him up and decides to throw a party no ifs, ands,

cover. Grace is enough ... Jesus is enough. — Brennan Manning
