"When
I get honest, I admit I am a bundle of paradoxes. I believe and I doubt, I hope and get
discouraged, I love and I hate, I feel bad about feeling good, I feel guilty
about not feeling guilty. I am trusting
and suspicious. I am honest and I still
play games. To live by grace means to
acknowledge my whole life story, the light side and the dark. In admitting my shadow side I learn who I am
and what God's grace means. My deepest
awareness of myself is that I am deeply loved by Jesus Christ and I have done
nothing to earn it or deserve it."
- Brennan Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel
