grace is a free gift

for my entire life, i've been taught that grace is a gift freely given to all. it's true; i don't deny the truth of it. but, here's what i've come to realize: grace as a gift is like a washer and dryer for christmas. you're glad to have the set. you're excited by the possibilities. but, the simple truth is that you're in for a lot of hard work.
in the end, you come out looking better if you invest in the work it requires (just like grace).
