The grace of God should remind us of two things. One, we were and are in a position where we cannot help ourselves any bit.
Two, it was the love of God that moved Him to shower His grace upon us.
We are utterly lost and on the path to destruction. In no position to help ourselves. There is nothing in us to be proud of.
The only way out – Surrender yourself to Him, and seek His grace to live a life of fragrance.
Live well, for life is short and quick.
