NCC - Isaiah: Return from Exile

God’s grace doesn’t abandon nor forget.

God’s grace is beyond explanation.

God’s grace is permanent.

God’s grace gives hope.

If someone feels in his heart the situation is hopeless, I say you are looking at the ruins of life, while God looks at the walls. You look at what you have been, and you are conscious of awful failure, but bless the Lord, He sees you in Christ, as what he intends you to be. He sees you to be what you long to be in your best moments. He sees you as what you will be when the grace of God has finished the task.
