The absoluteness of God
flows through all of the scriptures. 
This is God's promise to us from his glory.
 
Have we ever stopped
in our pursuit for worldly goods and said:
'do I really need this?'
 
How many times have we said
'the Lord is My Shepherd, I shall not want'
and really meant it?
 
God's grace cannot work in us
if we become convinced of our own self-sufficiency. 
Is it true that all we need is
our human needs?
If all we need is the self-sufficiency
in our human needs
then there is no room for God
and what he can offer us.
 
Here is God offering to us his grace
that can permeate all our living. 
 
That does not mean
that we allow just a small part of God's grace
to enter our life.
 
He says “my grace” and we must
always see this as
God’s personal gift for us.
