What did you most resonate with from hearing John's story?
John said, "when you can't embrace the gifts that are given to you, you can't give to others." How does this impact the way we respond when things, like grace, are freely given to us?

Pray
Jesus - thank you for your grace. Thank you for giving all of us second chances and allowing us to try again, no matter how many times the rooster crows. Your grace is enough. Let us never forget how much it cost and how high, how deep, how wide, and how long is your love for us.
