The Duet of Grit and Grace

2/22/2021

0 Comments

 
Grit and Grace begin to sing, competing for the melody. The verse begins with I will survive. God has a plan and it includes me. Grace’s voice rises above the grit to offer prayer, kindness, and compassion for hopes not yet realized. Grit rises again with confident strides: the declaration of Never-Give-Up, I can Do it Myself and “You Can’t stop me.” Grace is offered by God’s voice and says: “Let me help you, heal you, and release you to fly free, with guidance by My compass. Grit sings again in its seasoned voice: “I, by Your faith, presence and providence will conform to Your image and persevere to the end. The beautiful, crowning phrase of this duet: “Well done thou good and faithful servant” is offered by the ultimate author of Grace.
