Have you ever been scrolling through FB and seen a mugshot/news story and noticed people sharing it over and over then paused to read some of the comments? The hurtful name calling, especially when it’s someone from the community?
Sin. We are ALL guilty! Yet somehow we feel justified and can be so self righteous calling people names because they got caught or perhaps their sins look different than ours.
Where is grace? Why do we not grieve for these people, commit to pray for them and extend grace to them? We are called to be Christians which means being like Christ. Don’t you think His heart grieves over sins?
There’s a saying in recovery “We are only as sick as our secrets” yet how many of us sit in our pew Sunday after Sunday completely sick because of secrets we are keeping? Yet we walk around in life with a bag of stones in our hands ready to throw them at others for their sins knowing very good and well we are guilty of sin ourselves?
Grace.
The beautiful thing about grace is NO-ONE deserves it yet it’s available to EVERYONE if we will just surrender our life to Him. It’s available to the murderer, the addict, the abuser, the child molester, the liar, the thief, the sexually immoral the list goes on and on.
Grace....unmerited favor... flowing from His pierced body down to us, cleansing us from ALL unrighteousness. May we receive it and may we extend it to others as well. Who can you extend grace to today? Extend grace not because they deserve it but extend it because you have received it!!! The ground is level at the foot of the cross! Have a blessed day! ©️😘💜🙏🏻🙌🏻
