The Face of Grace
You might be surprised where you'll find it.
Most of the time it is found where you least expect it.
You may find it when you are in line with a slow cashier,
and your patience is running low--but then suddenly you remember
this is a 1st world problem, and grace abounds at the check-out.
It may be found in a disagreement, and you decide to wave your
white flag, realizing that grace is usually the better route.
You may witness it between strangers you see, and then letting
them be an example for you to be gracious.
It might be found between you and your child, or spouse during
an argument. When you know they are at fault, but you
choose grace in the frustrating and what feels like a defeated moment.
You may encounter it with someone you have not forgiven yet,
and a nudging to extend grace to them arises--then
sweet freedom!
You surely will find it when on the telephone with
customer service, but bringing to mind that
we are a privileged people, so whatever we
are on the phone for, is most likely something to be
thankful for.
You could also encounter it at the doctors office, or at work, when something isn't
going your way, knowing that if you breathe
and put it under the umbrella of grace,
you will be less stressed.
Look for the face of grace when you are alone,
in good or bad company,
in your home or anothers home,
search high and low for it, because it will ease your
spirit.
Choose it when you for yourself too, when you've messed up
or hurt another--remember to be gentle with yourself, not just others.
Grace heals a multitude of things, and it brings contentment
and exudes beauty.
The face of grace is the face of God.
God will never run out of it, and neither should we.
