Pastor Ed makes an interesting – and poignant – statement there: God’s favor doesn’t come on us based on what WE are doing. God doesn’t wait for us to get our act together, to start living well, being good people, following His commandments to a “T”. God wants to bless us where we are right now, and today’s message reminds us of this! We will fall short and require forgiveness, but that’s what grace is all about! God still has a great plan for us, no matter how many times we blow it!
