Grace 2 Grace

Yesterday I wrote on grace. On a friend teaching and showing me grace. And last night and this morning, I find I still fight it. Fight wanting to give it....
Why should I? I have a thousand reasons not too... Don't feel like it, Others don't, why should I, what difference will it make, it's too hard, too much of a demand on me...

Where do we find the grace to grace others, especially when it has to come from deep inside...from a place deeper than our "want to?" Because my "want to" don't want to. But I know I need to. I have to because it is what He would do. And if I want to be like Him, I need to follow His example....I know where to find it....

Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. Romans 1:5

Those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. Jonah 2:8


Lord, may I learn to grace others with the grace that has been given me through You. I do not want to cling to worthless idols and forfeit your grace, as the world does. Change my heart to reflect yours, even though at times it may painful.

P.S. Please remember to pray for Sheryl and David today (see her blog-The Perch) They have been on my heart lately. God knows what they need-please lift them up. Thanks!
