There is no substitute for grace.  

Even if our minds had the capacity to think up a concept greater than grace we could not for there is not.  If God's greatest gift is Himself than grace was the only option and what a brilliant non-option it is.  It is this greatest gift of relationship with our creator that is most wanted by our heart.  Our heart however was so cloudy and stormy it could not see the sun rising and therefore needed a supernatural clearing to see what is now available, a brand new start, a brand new day.  Once your eyes have seen this 'son' there is nothing your eyes want more, once your skin has felt the warmth of His presence, your emotions the healing of His wings, your heart the moulding of His hands there really is nothing this world can do to compete.  Yet it somehow is not the dismissal of all that is in this world, for much of it is made that much brighter by this grace.  For this world was made by this graceful Creator and before this brand new day our eyes were hindered from truly seeing its original beauty.  Despite the short fallings all around us our eyes now see with what it is intended to be with the eyes of grace.  What was lost is found.  What was corrupted is pure. What was oppressed is uplifted.  What was dull is shining brightly.  What was hopeless is full of potential. What was impossible is now inevitable.  Creation always responds best to its Creator not a cheap substitute.  

Let grace have its way.  For the way of grace has no end. 

I say yes.
