"And yet with every wound You robbed me of a crime,And as each blow was paid with Blood,You paid me also each great sin with greater graces.For even as I killed You,You made Yourself a greater thief than any in Your company,Stealing my sins into Your dying life,Robbing me even of my death."

Every breath we draw is a gift of His love, every moment of existence is a grace, for it brings with it immense graces from Him.

For the grateful person knows that God is good, not by hearsay but by experience. And that is what makes all the difference."
