Grace Filled Marriage :: Quote of the Day :: Nov 26
“Grace isn’t blind. Nor is it without nerve endings. A call to a grace-filled marriage doesn’t mean we ignore, trivialize, or excuse our spouse’s unacceptable behavior. Grace doesn’t mean we lose our voice when it comes to dealing head-on with things that are clearly out of line. And grace doesn’t remove consequences. God’s grace is offered to us, but it isn’t realized if we’re unwilling to receive it properly. We have to repent. And our repentance must be more than an, “Oh, excuse me, Lord, I am sorry.” It requires us to own our actions and refuse to continue our self-destructive ways.”
This book is filled with hope and encouragement with chapters such as “A Grace-Filled Perspective” and “Grace Frees You to be Different and Vulnerable”. Dr. Tim Kimmel and his wife, Darcy Kimmel, explain how Grace has been the best thing for their marriage and how it’s the best gift you can give for your own marriage. Give yourself the gift of grace!
