Accepting Grace

I find it fascinating how difficult it is for most of us to accept something that we feel we don't deserve. This quirky little experiment (below) shows that full well. To accept a great gift that we haven't earned can be scary or even humiliating. Yet accepting something we don't deserve is one of the most important pieces of what it is to be Christian. Grace, freely offered must also be freely received . . .

Wow. That's interesting.

I love that he gave the homeless guy $100.00.

I think they hesitate because of lack of trust... wondering if this person has ulterior motives. I personally don't like opening my window to strangers at intersections.
But what a great act of kindness!
