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.
