Generosity In Relationships.

No gift of grace is ever really given unless a part of us goes with it.  Which is another way of saying ‘unless it comes from the heart.’

This is why you’ve heard me challenge the Children of God over and over and over again to ‘live generously and love graciously.’  It is generosity in relationships which will stand the test of Time... and Eternity.  Forgiveness and compassion, tenderness and grace, the freedom to be exactly who Christ created you to be, and extending the freedom for this person to be exactly who Christ created them to be ...enough joy to laugh at how seriously we take ourselves ...enough love to cover over every failure, fault and flaw ...enough wisdom to recognize when things have gone beyond the bounds of reality, of healthy and of holy ...and enough courage to seek Abba’s and others’ help so these things can be redeemed!

This is my prayer for you, and for us, in every single one of our relationships.  In this arena, Jesus is the immaculate image, the ultimate example, of One who was willing to go to the grave and beyond in order to rescue and redeem those He loves!  May our hearts be ever-willing to follow in the Master’s footsteps.
