Sometimes, fighting between showing grace versus throwing anger and frustration over things that happened and can't be changed.
"Don't you just have brains?"
"Can't you just think before you act?"
"You see, the consequences, it's ALL because of you. YA YOU NOT ME!"
Ya, many times, I tend to throw all the blame on others, to dwell in self-pity but many times, this word grace comes in/showed up. The whisper, "Show grace, my dear".
Grace is a very beautiful word. Learning from my Savior, I believe He is the best example of grace shown during His life here on earth. one of the example would be He showed grace to one of the criminals during His crucifixion. Do you think that criminal even deserved God's forgiveness? but Jesus said:"...today you will be with me in paradise."
I need to learn to be more gracious. to show grace. to learn from the One who showed me much grace. to remind myself, in many circumstances, i do not even deserve grace.

Yancey is a great writer! I'm currently reading one of his books too. Maybe when we're done we can exchange? (So I don't need to buy a book that my friend already owns :D )
