I forget the grace I strive to have so many times/ days.... Still working on grace in ALL areas of my life: “Love doesn’t get angry when others do it wrong. This message of grace has become a resounding theme in our marriage. We hold dear to it, and we practice it daily. Not perfectly, which is why we need gentle reminders time and again that marriage isn’t about us. It’s about bringing glory to God in the way that we live and the way that we love. Loving someone unconditionally is a light in the darkness that brings glory to God. There’s a reason we call grace amazing, and that’s because it reflects the character of God unlike anything else. Pride is deceitful. It gives us a false sense of strength, when the truth is that strength lies in the ability to give more than we get and to forgive before we’re forgiven. It’s never easy to choose the right path. Love calls us to walk the roads less travelled–the ones that are paved with compassion and grace. If that road doesn’t sound familiar, maybe this will remind you… Saying sorry when you’ve had an argument. Holding your tongue when you’re angry. Being patient when you’re frustrated. Listening when you don’t like what he has to say. Being kind when he’s grumpy. Letting it go when he’s wrong. and finally… choosing “we” over “me.” You are loved by an almighty God ***** TODAY’S CHALLENGE: Before you can extend grace to others, you should start with the preparation of a pure and tender heart. Pray asking God for wisdom and guidance in this area.
