This is not original with me but it sure speaks to me.
“Jesus forgave a thief dangling on a cross, knowing full well
the thief had converted out of plain fear. That thief would
never study the Bible, never attend synogogue or church,
and
never make amends to those he had wronged. He simply
said, “Jesus, remember me,” and Jesus promised, “Today you
will be with me in paradise.” It was another shocking reminder
that grace does not depend on what we have done for God
but rather what God has done for us.””
Ain’t God good?
