When Strivings Cease is a wonderful study of God’s grace and how we tend to want to work our way into it rather than accept this amazing gift. Ruth tells her story of striving to do better, be better, work harder and of her realization through Bible study that grace is freely given to us.We just have to accept it and respond with gratitude. She begins with stories about her childhood. One of my favorite is about the lunch room in a new school in a new country. As someone who moved across the US every three years growing up, I could deeply identify with being treated differently because of the food I might eat or my accent and the loneliness of those school lunchrooms. One quote resonated with me because I struggled to make new friends over and over again. “You can’t long for the approval of God and others at the same time. One always eclipses the other.” Even as an older adult I find myself striving for approval from people around me. This was such a good reminder that my only approval needs to come from God. Another quote comes from chapter eleven about how Grace cancels our debt, for real. “Simply put, the wonder of the gospel—that changes everything if we believe it—is that our debts aren’t just canceled; our account is filled up to overflowing.” Ruth covers fear, forgiveness and many other topics that I had not associated with grace before. This is an excellent discussion of striving and grace that I will share with several people in my life. If you find yourself exhausted with trying to achieve, win and influence your world, this book may be just what you are looking for. Through Christ we have already won. Now we can rest in God’s grace and give him praise.
