Think And Let Think

The cross is the manure of grace that is spread into and throughout our lives. It is a frightening thing that we’d rather ignore or dismiss, and yet without it we are nothing. And still, the manure that is grace is offered to our lives even when, and precisely because, we are not bearing fruit! We worship a God of impossible possibilities, a God who offers more chances than we ever deserve, a God who willingly drops manure on our lives over and over again. The cross is like manure; it is good and bad and ugly. But it is also our salvation.
