POINT OF SEPARATION

I thought
  that
  the end
  of myself
Must be
  a terrible place.

Strange.
That's where
  I distinguished
  my works
From His grace.

—Nancy Spiegelberg

"Now to him that worketh is the
reward not reckoned of grace,
but of debt."          
Romans 4:4

"Who hath saved us, and called us
with an holy calling, not according
to our works, but according to his
own purpose and grace, which was
given us in Christ Jesus before the
world began,"           
2Timothy 1:9
