Life is fraught with opportunities that can inflict shame and guilt.  There is an encompassing pressure to be self-sufficient in EVERYTHING.  Yet, that isn’t the life Jesus died to give us.  The world will direct you to try harder.  However, the way of the cross will point you toward the place where you stop striving and fall into the boundless, liberating grace of God.

• Hushing the static in your life to tune into His voice.
