LIVING A LIFE OF GRACE

WEDNESDAY’S BLESSING

Forgive often and always

Living a life of grace requires a constant effort to forgive those who offend us. That does not diminish the wounds afflicted on us, but forgiveness renders freedom from resentment, anger and jealousy. That may take time but the reward is infinite. Forgiveness heals and makes everything new in us and most likely others.

“Sometimes, we just need someone to show us something we cannot see for ourselves, then we too can change for-ever.”
