Grace

Grace really is amazing. It's worth reminding ourselves sometimes.

K, here's what I learned this week: That being gracious towards others opens the door to being gracious with yourself (goodness, doesn't that sound like a self help book). It's true though! Near the beginning of the week I was feeling frustrated with some of the imperfections that I perceived in the people around me. Then I heard the morning devotional podcast from http://www.pray-as-you-go.org/, which was all about grace, and I just realised what valuable people they really are, in spite of their flaws. And if that's the way God sees them, and wants me to see them, that's the way he sees me, and wants me to see myself as well! Hooray

So maybe not so new an idea today, but certainly an important one, eh?
