GRACE is what I can think of right now. When was the last time you responded with Grace, instead of anger, or frustration, when something happens? Usually, I see Grace as the best response when something happens that I can’t control. Something entirely not my doing, unfair, just plain wrong, that personally affects me. I wonder if my response is more about me wishing I had control rather than true anger or frustration.
We need more GRACE in our lives right now. I like to think GRACE enables us to pause, to think, to truly reflect on the situation at hand, and helps us focus on the right things.
I went through the story of the prodigal son again this weekend – a son who took his inheritance early, against his fathers wishes. The son blew it all in a storm of debauchery… and ended up at the bottom of the barrel. With literally no where to go, he stumbled back home. The amount of anger, frustration, and sheer wrath the father could have poured out on his son for such horrible choices. But the father chose grace and welcome him home with open arms and tears of joy. I bet the lesson the son learned through grace was far more powerful than any just punishment could have taught him.
Think on how you can respond in GRACE when things happen that are out of your control. I find a good workout in the morning helps me focus on how to respond with GRACE during my day.
