Quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

Grace is given to heal the spiritually sick, not to decorate spiritual heroes

Grace is given to heal the spiritually sick, not to decorate

Summary

This quote emphasizes that the purpose of grace is not to embellish or glorify those who are already spiritually enlightened or virtuous, but rather to offer solace, healing, and redemption to those who are spiritually vulnerable or suffering. It suggests that grace is not meant to be an accessory for the spiritually strong, but a lifeline for the spiritually weak. Grace is depicted as a transformative force that extends itself to the broken, the hurt, and the lost, providing them with the opportunity to find healing and restoration, regardless of their past mistakes or current shortcomings.
