Barter for Grace

Oh Jesus - how can you possibly forgive me for what I've done? Even after years of knowing you, years of chasing after you and years of stumbles along the way - how can I still not grasp the concept of grace? Somehow I always come crawling back to you with my dirty rags, holding up worthless treasures, trying to barter for your grace in futility. Futile because I don't have to barter.

How can you give this grace to me for nothing? Don't you understand what I've done?

Yet you do understand.

And that's why I don't understand your grace.
