- Karl Barth

About this Quote

This quote by Karl Barth talks to the importance of enduring poise in our lives. Elegance is a gift from God that is freely offered and also need to be shared with others. It is not nearly enough to merely receive grace; it must be revealed in our lives. We should show elegance to others, even when it is tough. We need to forgive those who have actually mistreated us, and we should want to extend poise to those who do not deserve it. We have to also be willing to accept elegance from others, even when we do not feel we deserve it. Elegance must be revealed in our lives in order for it to be real grace. If we do not endure grace, after that it is not grace in all.
