The Grace of God
reviously I had
tried hard to uphold the freedom of choice of the human will; but the grace
of God had the upper hand.
The Apostle Paul stated the most obvious truth, when he said: "What have you got that you did not first receive? If you have received all this, why glory in it as if you had not been given it?"
-- Revisions 2, 27
Prayer. I thank you, Lord, my joy and my glory, my hope and my God. I thank you for your gifts to me. Keep them unharmed for me: they will be the making of me, and I shall be with you for my being is your gift.
-- Confessions 1, 20
