Grace.

I recently read Gracenomics, a book by Mike Foster from People of the Second Chance.  It was not an overtly biblical book, but it had significant biblical based principles.

It discusses that recently we've had issues offering GRACE in our workplaces, schools, and our daily lives.  We've come down hard on people without living out forgiveness.  Most of all we've come down hard on ourselves and have not offered enough grace when we make mistakes.  This in turn causes the major problem of offering grace to others.

Jesus died on the cross and rose again, but life did not become easy to live at that moment.  Our flesh still is broken and loves to sin.  But remember Ephesians 2:8, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God."  We must be reminded that the grace we are offered by God, needs to be offered in our hearts and minds to us.  When we make this realization we can best offer grace to those around us.  I challenge to offer radical grace that loves no matter what.
