“I give grace because I so desperately need it.” –Lysa Terkeurst

“Put on a heart of compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience; bearing with one another, and forgiving each other...just as the Lord forgave you, Col.3

I think one of the reasons why God shows us grace is to encourage us to be gracious to others. Grace does not treat people as they deserve. It chooses instead to deliberately treat them with kindness. Grace chooses humility over hostility, compassion over condemnation, and forgiveness over fighting. Grace is gracious without condition--without putting demands on others to perform before we show them lovingkindness. Conversations Within” ts 8/13/2015
