We can all relate to the sinking feeling we get when we are handed a traffic ticket. No matter how careful we are to abide by the traffic laws, we are bound to make a mistake here and there. The time we allow our foot to get a little heavy on the gas pedal always seems to coincide with a police officer sitting in our path.
Living out our Christian life attempting to follow rules created by man - is almost like having the highway patrol constantly monitoring our every move. No matter how much we attempt to obey the laws, we are bound to make a mistake, only to be immediately caught and punished for our negligence, whether intentional or not.
But living our life by the grace of God is like being on an open road, a road where we are free to drive without constant patrols. Of course, we must still drive using good sense, enjoying our journey under the direction of God's grace; but we can be free from the fear of failure - on the open road to a wonderful destination!
