Grace

I held out a little grace
             and said,
"It's not for you.
    You give to me instead. "

The hand that held the grace
           that I withdrew
 Returned empty
     and I knew

There is no grace for me
where there is none for you.

   We love because he first loved us.  Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.  And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.  

I John 4:19
