the mystery of grace.

"I do not at all understand the mystery of grace - only that it meets us where we are, but does not leave us where it found us."

- Anne Lamott, from Traveling Mercies: Some Thoughts on Faith

This quote really struck me, and I really appreciate it reflective of part of the mystery of grace, but I would perhaps replace "it" with "God." What do you think?

This quote came yesterday from something else I subscribe to by email - the Faith and Politics Institute's Weekly Reflection. It's just a brief quote or little paragraph of reflection once a week. The FPI is an organization that seeks to serve Congress and citizens for reflections and conversation around faith and politics. Their logo, the dove with the capitol building inset, I think is an interesting mix of (quasi?) religious and distinct political imagery.
