Polymer Clay Day 97: Graceful Clay Pendant


Whenever I am wanting and grasping for anything; material, emotional, relational, career – pausing to remember that His grace is enough calms the storm in me. It is ok to desire, but when I am trying to force my will, or manipulate a desired outcome based on selfish wants, I am forgetting how far His grace has carried me, and that it is all I need. The unrest is just a lie.
Some wonderful grace quotes:

Grace is the good pleasure of God that inclines Him to bestow benefits upon the undeserving. It is a self-existent principle inherent in the divine nature and appears to us as a self-caused propensity to pity the wretched, spare the guilty, welcome the outcast, and bring into favor those who were before under just disapprobation. Its use to us sinful men is to save us and make us sit together in heavenly places to demonstrate to the ages the exceeding riches of God’s kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

A.W. Tozer


Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon.

John Piper


It is a greater work of God to bring men to grace, than being in the state of grace, to bring them to glory; because sin is far more distant from grace than grace is from glory.

John Trapp


Advance in the Christian life comes not by the work of the Holy Spirit alone, nor by our work alone, but by our responding to and cooperating with the grace the Holy Spirit initiates and sustains.

Donald Whitney


A man can no more take in a supply of grace for the future than he can eat enough for the next six months, or take sufficient air into his lungs at one time to sustain life for a week. We must draw upon God’s boundless store of grace from day to day, as we need it.

D.L. Moody


It is not only by grace alone that we become God’s people but by grace alone we remain His people.

Dale Ralph Davis


His grace is enough!! Scatter joy…
