Grace and Gratitude

Grace and gratitude belong together like heaven and earth.
Grace evokes gratitude like the voice of an echo.
Gratitude follows grace as thunder follows lightning.
~Karl Barth

I'm learning that the process of growing in the knowledge of God's grace is also an exercise in cultivating an ever increasing measure of gratitude to Him.

While my understanding and humble gratefulness will never equal the depths of His abundant grace... may it ever deepen, may my gratitude to Him ever abound, and may my life refect it.
