God's grace sets us free from captivity, it removes the burden of guilt and shame, and it restores us back to the Father. God's grace is like fertilizer that continues our growth into the image of Christ. There are times where we cant stunt our own growth. We must humble ourselves before Him and confess our trespasses. "God resists the proud but gives GRACE to the humble." The key to growing in grace is humility! "If you humble yourselves before the Lord, He will lift you up."
