Scotty Smith in Everyday Prayers, writes "A Prayer about Grace Allergies," "...would have given you living water." John 4:10
".....why we choose broken cisterns, dumb idols, and self help over your love is sheer madness. Grace is for sinners not pretenders, posers, and performers. You mean to heal us not harm us; embrace us, not embarass us; succor us with compassion, not shame us with contempt.
So, Jesus, once again I bring real thirst to you today. I bring my allergic reactions to the gospel. I bring that part of me that would rather help others discover your grace than partake of it myself."
