Grace wins ... every time.

To the Prodigal Son:  grace wins.
To the woman at the well:  grace wins.
To the thief on the cross:  grace wins.
To you and me and every one of us, all of whom are sinners:  grace wins.

There's a war between guilt and grace. But grace wins every time.

"Where sin abounds, grace abounds all the more!"  -Paul

Jesus, you know just how far the east is from the west.  I can't stand to see the man I've been, rising up in me again. In the arms of your mercy I find rest.  Can you show me just how far the east is from the west? From one scarred hand to the other. -- Casting Crowns
