“Only God’s grace can make our agendas subservient to his. 

Only his grace can open our eyes to the reality about ourselves,

 our mortality 

(and immortality), 

and his fair and just judgment...

Only his grace can lead us to see that our lives 

are but a speck of time and that eternity is endless; 

and only his grace can help us shape our agendas 

around that endless eternity 

and not the speck of time.” 

Gospel Motivation, Robert J Koester, 15
