Often when offended or wronged, our first response is to cut the individual off, however if God were to treat us that way then where would we be? It&#8217;s so easy to forget our own desperate need for grace, and even easier to forget the incredible grace God has freely given us. When we forget that grace, it&#8217;s natural to respond to others without grace harshly, critically, or impatiently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God\u2019s grace toward us isn\u2019t something we earned, achieved, or deserve. It\u2019s a gift lavished on us, despite our flaws and failures. Yet, in the busyness of life, we often forget the depth of that gift and can become impatient or unforgiving toward others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remembering the grace we\u2019ve received should change how we treat those around us. When we reflect on how deeply we needed grace and how freely it was given to us, we\u2019re reminded that this grace is not just for us, but to be shared with others.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Today I invite you to join me in prayer and reflection\u2026.have I forgotten the grace God has shown me? How can I be more intentional in remembering it today? Are there areas in my relationships where I\u2019ve responded without grace?<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Prayer for today<\/strong>:<em>\u00a0Lord, help me remember the grace You\u2019ve freely given me. May I never forget how much I\u2019ve been forgiven. Teach me to respond to others with the same grace You show me every day.
