{Re}clean

Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that will pardon and cleanse within;
Grace, grace, God’s grace,
Grace that is greater than all our sin!

Julia h. johnston, grace greater than our sin, 1910

As a verb — grace means to confer dignity or honor on. It’s active and flowing. If we take grace in it’s noun form, which means unmerited divine assistance given to humans, we see that God graces us with grace.

Receiving his unmerited grace isn’t one and done. It’s more like doing the dishes and washing the clothes and dusting. It’s never completely done. It’s always in need of clensing again.

Kind of like me. I’m never done. Constantly in need of new dispensations of grace. Recleaned and reclaimed by grace. ❤
