“We become fruitful by grace; we persevere by grace; we mature by grace; by grace we grow to love one another more, and by grace we cherish holiness and a deepening knowledge of God…The Savior cannot be glorified in our lives, nor can we be finally glorified, apart from the grace that He provides.” D.A. Carson
I've included a quote above from D.A. Carson on prayer. Prayer is in essence a crying out for more of God's grace. One of my conviction as I've tried to use this time to think about how I can better lead my family is the lack of praying together. There is a promise that where two or more gather together in Christ name He is there. The beauty of marriage is that we have the 1 plus 1 equals 2. Now we just have to take the next step and come together in His name to seek Him and His grace. As I was thinking about that D.A. Carson quote there are marvelous implication for it in relation to prayer. Below is my paraphrase.
“Marriage becomes fruitful by grace; marriage perseveres by grace; marriage matures by grace; by grace we grow to love one another more, and by grace we cherish holiness and a deepening knowledge of God…The Savior cannot be glorified in our marriage, nor can we be finally glorified, apart from the grace that He provides.” D.A. Carson paraphrased by me
