grace-gives-someone-not-something

# Grace gives someone, not something Grace does not give us something but someone. It is not a substance dispensed but an invitation into mutual relationship, which means the response to grace is part of the relationship itself, not a fee paid for it. Receiving and giving become two movements of one shared life. This keeps grace from collapsing back into the economy of merit while still asking everything of us.
