Good morning…
“What kills a soul?” asks Shauna Niequist author of Present Over Perfect. She answers herself: “Exhaustion, secret-keeping, image management.”
“And what brings a soul back from the dead?” she wonders. “Honesty, connection, grace.”
For me, what will it be?
Exhaustion.
Secret-keeping.
Image management.
Honesty.
Connection.
Grace.
As I notice where my heart is drawn, I focus on the final word. I love this acronym for G.R.A.C.E.
Be…
Grateful, not entitled.
Responsive, not controlling.
Available, not hurried.
Curious, not self-centered.
Encouraging, not critical.
Lord, please empower me to live with G.R.A.C.E. today.
All of this is for your benefit. And as God’s grace reaches more and more people, there will be great thanksgiving, and God will receive more and more glory (2 Corinthians 4:15, NLT).
…Sue…
