Grace truly received always becomes grace given.
Published on: 02-15-2019
Until we grasp how much we’ve been forgiven, it will always seem unwise and difficult to forgive those who sin against us.
When we forgive another person, we abandon our leverage over them; release the debt they owe us; throw open prison doors. This is a graciousness we can’t summon from within: until we’ve received God’s grace, we have none to give to others. You can’t wring kindness from a stone, or from a stony, unforgiven heart.
But “the grace of God has appeared to all” (Titus 2:11), making possible our own redemption, and then the healing of our friendships, marriages, and communities.
Grace truly received always becomes grace given.
So stay in grace.
