“One young man wrote me in an email: ‘I know God has all
power, and I know He will help me if I’m worthy, but I’m just never worthy
enough to ask for His help. I want Christ’s grace, but I always find myself
stuck in the same self-defeating and impossible position: no work, no grace.’ I
wrote back and testified with all my heart that Christ is not waiting at the
finish line once we have done all we can do. He is with us every step of the
way. Grace is not a booster engine that kicks in once our fuel supply is
exhausted. It is our constant energy source. It’s not the light at the end of
the tunnel but the light that moves us through the tunnel. Grace is not
achieved somewhere down the road. It is received here and right now. It is not
a finishing touch; it is the Finisher’s touch.” – Brad Wilcox
