That I needed to be perfect to be a child of God, entitled to the goodness of his household?” So refreshing to read this, Anita. Encouraged by this reminder that God’s grace isn’t dependent on our being perfect.

It’s so true, isn’t it–mud and the breath of God. Reminds me to try to treat myself and other people with mercy & tenderness!
