Grace is certainly something we all need especially in these uncertain times. Good to be reminded too that it should be something we both receive and give. #WotW

Such a great post! I agree we need grace more than anything. Also, grace definitely changes us. Like, before I saw the light, I switched between thinking I wasn’t worth any grace and thinking I didn’t need any. Well, I need grace and thankfully I get it from God as well as other people everyday.

Lisa, such a great post at such a great time! I love Tripp’s book, and just about everything he writes. Your comments on grace being a gift, and meant to be given away really resonate with me. I’ve always thought of grace like the old hymn, “Channels Only”, that I would simply be a channel of grace that it might flow from Him through me to others. We can never have nor offer enough grace!

I really like the analogy of the present–that grace is like a present, so it doesn’t do any good for it to remain wrapped, sitting on a shelf. I know what grace is, I know that it is there, but do I experience it? Do I extend it to others? I’m going to meditate on my answers to these questions.

Oh yes, Lisa. We so need grace now and always! “To make peace with the uncertainty of unpredictable times, we can be certain of one gift that will keep on coming: grace. God and his grace are inseparable.” Amen! Thank you for this encouragement. I love the quotes, too. Love and blessings to you, my friend!

Tripp’s comment is right on. A big part of the foundational issues at work in our current culture is a false sense of self-righteousness and a lack of understanding of our own sin. It is difficult to have compassion for others, to extend grace and mercy when you’ve never admitted your own need and received them yourself. This is the foundation we need to repair and then build upon. Great post, Lisa!
