We cannot find God without God.
We cannot reach God without God.We cannot satisfy God without God- which is
another way of saying
that all our seeking will fall short unless
God starts and finishes the search.The decisive part of our seeking is not our
human ascent to God,
but his descent to us.
Without God’s descent there is no human ascent.The secret of the quest lies not in our brilliance
but in his grace.Os Guinness*
May the Lord bless us this week as we abide in His grace.

A wonderful quote to post Becky! A great way to start the week indeed! God is so good! His descent is not something easily comprehended is it? We did nothing and He did it all. To Him be the praise and glory forever Amen! Thank you dear friend!

So thankful for God's grace. It was by His grace I was saved. And daily grace keeps me living and working for Him, too. What a blessing your post is to me today.
