[:en]BEYOND LABELS
Many times, we allow labels to define who we are. We see ourselves as wonderful or terrible, capable or helpless. We also assign them to others. But God’s grace defies labels because it is rooted in His love, not in our self-perception.
The Lord accepts us as we are. He invites us to come to Him to find hope, healing and freedom. “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom. 5:8). God’s forgiveness defies our labels of failure or pride. -(David Mccasland)[:]
