We are created with a continual desire for more that will not be satisfied by the world or apart from God. Our purpose is to seek and allow God’s continuing creation in us and, through our lives, in the world.
God’s continuing creation in us builds up a heart of love.
God’s continuing creation through our lives builds up shalom.
God’s continuing creation we call grace.
Our experience of grace we call blessing. God fills the world with tools (means of grace) that God uses to build up hearts of love and lives of shalom. The appropriate application of our effort is to seek out these tools (means of grace) and allow God to use them in our hearts and, through our lives, in the world. God’s presence is the highest, the greatest blessing.
