Grace and Mercy

Grace
Practice Forgiveness
Forgiveness is a discipline, much like love and prayer and worship are all disciplines. To forgive well, you must practice forgiveness often. . .
Let Him Love You
So many times you turn Jesus away without even realizing it. If you have been running, turn around. Let Him love you. If you haven’t, just rest in Him today. . .
Praise Him
God wants you to praise Him in good times and in bad. It’s when you praise Him during the hard times that He increases your faith and helps you to see His goodness in all situations. . .
Forgive Yourself
Take time to do some self-reflecting. See if there’s something for which you need to forgive yourself—and do so. Then extend that same love and forgiveness toward others. . .
Extend Grace
Is receiving grace a hard concept for you to accept from God? Often it may be easier to extend grace to another person as opposed to extending it to yourself or receiving grace from another. . .
Choose Another Way
It’s easy to get caught up in the drama when someone pushes your buttons or you feel used, abandoned, mistreated, or hurt. As a child of God, you can choose another way. . .
Don’t Treat God’s Grace Lightly
Many Christians live as if God imposes no standards: we have freedom in Christ, and God is all about grace. Yes, but we must not treat God’s grace lightly. . .
Accept His Compassion
Do you yearn for more of God? The Bible tells us He longs to be gracious to us. If we believe that, our response should be a longing for more of Him. . .
Fatherly Love
We serve a great and powerful God, yet He is also a Father. God shows such compassion to Elijah in today’s passage. This compassion and pure fatherly love is how God directs us. . .
