Manifest grace in your life

Dallas Willard

Everything of value culturally, given the loss of moral knowledge, is sucked into this economic vacuum where it’s chewed up and spewed out until nothing of value remains. So people wind up eating and drinking and doing all the things human beings do, but in lives stripped of the glory that is a manifestation of grace.

Beauty is, above all, a manifestation of grace, of abundance and generosity. It’s the reason why God placed flowers on the earth: to have little voices calling to us constantly about grace. You walk in the field, and here’s a flower. Jesus valued the “lilies of the field.”
