God's Grace Reaching
Posted: December 21, 2024
To think we can reach Heaven is a stretch…
A man’s reach should exceed his grasp.
That, says Browning, is our task.
But when our endless efforts fail
we (empty-handed) pine.
We long for what we can’t attain.
Elusive peace. Release from shame.
But human effort can’t achieve
what God alone can do.
And that is why the Lord came down
(vacating throne and kingly crown)
to humbly woo us to Himself
and gift us with His grace.
Yes, grace is what the Baby brings.
It’s why the angel choir sings.
In Christ our reach is realized.
In Him we find our worth!
