There are things God does for me daily, and it throws me into brain lock, because I know in my heart I don’t deserve that kind of grace. I don’t deserve that break.

Meaning of the quote

God does many amazing things for us every day, even though we don't deserve it. It can be hard to understand why God is so generous and kind to us, but we should be grateful for His grace and the breaks He gives us, even when we feel like we don't deserve them.
