What is grace? Grace is unmerited favor. No one deserves it,
but it is given anyway. Grace says I pardon you from any wrong. Grace gives
extra wiggle room. Grace looks at someone who has broken the rules and chooses
to let it go.
Now does this mean that we never discipline people when they
are wrong? No, but it does mean that do what is best for the person involved.
Sometimes that means using discipline. Sometimes that means letting go of our
ego and forgiving the other person.
As you grow in the grace of God, He will show you how to
re-gift grace. If you want to cultivate
grace remember the times that He has shown it to you. As the memories come
flooding back in, you will find your heart filling with grace for others.
After all we have all “been there” at one time or another.
We have all been beggars at the door of God’s grace. But He never lets us stay
there. He opens up the door wide open and extends to us the hand of grace.
I bet that you can name a few people that need your grace,
your understanding, your love. Take some time to extend the hand of grace to
them. Whether it’s just a smile, an e-mail, a forgiving word, a loving gift, or
a chat take some time to extend grace to them.
