Topic: The Power of Grace
2 Thoughts:
1. Unmerited Favor
Do you know who has "earned" God's favor and grace? No one! It's an unmerited favor that comes from a God who loves you and everyone around you. You can't earn it - so be sure to extend it as freely as you've received it!
2. Grace Transforms
Consider the power of grace in your own life. Not just from God (though you ought to stop and reflect on that often!), but also from others. Grace has the power to change things just as unforgiveness does too.
2 Quotes:
"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God." - Ephesians 2:8
"Grace isn’t a little prayer you chant before receiving a meal. It’s a way to live." - Jackie Windspear
2 Actions:
1. Give Yourself Some Grace
Many men find themselves striving for perfection and feeling like a let-down when they fail. Maybe its time for you to give yourself some grace and compassion and let it spur you on to do the same for others. Receive it and give it too!
2. Extend It
Whether it's offering forgiveness, showing empathy, or giving someone the benefit of the doubt, let grace be the guiding principle in your relationships. Demonstrate a tangible love to those around you through the grace you display in everyday moments.
