“Make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness…” 2Pet.1.5 Conversations Within” ts 10/9/2019
Grace modeste- an "unassuming grace." Any discussion of a spiritual nature should reflect this mutual kindness. The following are simply my devotional reflections each morning. I cast them like "bread upon the waters," hoping that all who find them will find something of value to nurture their own inner life.

“Life is a balance between what we can control and what we cannot. I am learning to live between effort and surrender.” Danielle Orner
It is understandable that God would leave certain matters under our control, and rightfully expect us to act on them. Effort on our part is both needed, and expected, if certain graces are to be ours. Even so, grace is grace, and faith is the first responsibility and the very first grace God gives to us. Attend to what is under your control, and trust to God’s gracious hands those things which are not.
