Grace

Lately I've been thinking about grace.  God's grace for us and how we should give grace to others.  Giving grace to the ones we love may be easy at times but giving grace to the difficult people in our lives or strangers is not as easy.

I watched a movie the other night with my family.  It was called, The Grace Card.  There were moments that I saw some of us in the room fighting back the tears in their eyes (yes I was one of them).

The movie is about grace and forgiveness.  It touches on prejudice, loss and grief.  The movie reminds us that each day, we have the opportunity to rebuild relationships and heal deep wounds by extending and receiving God's grace.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves; 

it is God's gift.

I think about a few people that I have came across in my life, they were hard to be around.  Right now in my life there are a few people that I find hard to love.  But it is those people that we should struggle with because within that struggle with God's help are life changing things for both people involved.

Grace is an amazing gift to give someone.  God gives us grace over and over again.  Things change when my perspective changes when I catch a glimpse of the purpose with Christ.  God's grace is always there to carry us beyond all that we go through and encounter in our lives.  God gives us the grace to handle it.  Therefore we can give grace to others.

Grace is real.  A gift with a power to change our lives and others.

Give grace.....

The power of Grace...

The Grace Card:  

 I promise to pray for you everyday. 

Ask you for your forgiveness.  

Grant you the same.  

Be your friends always

Wow! powerful words.  I want to give someone in my life the grace card.
