I love this post. It’s what so many of us need to hear and APPLY. Gods grace IS sufficient. As a ‘focused passive aggressive’ personality type I need to keep coming back leaning into God’s grace. I run when I feel frustration rising – ranting to my redeemer as I pound the pavement with my emotional pain. Thanks for writing this – I’ve bookmarked it because I need to be reminded of it frequently. Stu
