Over the last couple of years, I've used this paradigm on multiple occasions to help me think through certain elements, difficulties of my life. What I've learned, with this paradigm is that never, in our relationship with God, is it an equation. Even as we engage the disciplines, those actions we take to put ourselves in a posture to receive grace, the outcomes when reflected upon are never the same. It's always moving and always alive.
This paradigm is worth a look. It has helped me on multiple occasions.
