Saved by grace

How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;

maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

Rescue the weak and needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

Ps 82:2-4

Talking to people about what I do, I find myself sometimes defending, even selling my cause, trying to incite pity. Then I realized, I didn't have to justify what I was doing...

It's not my job to incite pity, to excite sympathy nor defend.. the Lord himself will do that. The fact is that we're all saved by grace, shown mercy through the sacrifice that was for all. Who am I to judge the whys and hows of any person? If I pride myself in my moral uprightness in comparison with a street walker, how different am I from the pharisee who thanked God that he wasn't like a tax-collector?

None are righteous.. none deserve to be spared, but all have been redeemed.
