We often feel like we’re not good enough, and we’re often right about that! So, it’s a great thing that God’s love is not dependent on our good behavior. As Paul wrote to a beginner church, he included a beautiful benediction – a prayer, which showed them (and us) that our good works and words are a result of God’s love, which grows in us by grace over time.
