And if he has wronged you in any way, 

or owes you anything, charge that to my account.

I, Paul, 

write this with my own hand: 

I will repay it...

Philemon 1:17-19 CSB

Can you imagine being Onesimus in this. 

There's a price to pay for his actions, and someone else, Paul, is prepared to pay.

Onesimus may have been completely unaware of the contents of the letter that he may well have been carrying.

Unaware that someone else was prepared to pay whatever it cost.

Even if he didn't know it, it was no less true. 

Paul was prepared to pay. 

So often I hear God's truth and don't really believe that it can be true for me. I can believe it for others, but sometimes the way I see myself (if only you knew me, knew my thoughts, what I've done, I can't be good enough.

Can't be enough) shapes the way that I see Grace.

Grace can't cover me, not with my thoughts, what I've done, I'm not good enough. 

But God has already written the letter that says He will pay. 

His Grace is enough. 

Jesus is enough.

And he makes me enough.

The letter has been written, and delivered, and that's the reality.

You and I get to live in the knowledge of that reality, and let it shift how we see ourselves.

Believe it.

His Grace is enough.

He loves us because He loves us.
