“For you are saved by
grace through faith, and
this is not from
yourselves; it is God’s gift”
Ephesians 2:8 (HCSB)
Grace has been on my mind lately. The need to receive it.
The call to give it out.
According to dictionary.com, grace is “mercy, clemency, pardon.”
It could also be said that grace is giving someone the benefit of the doubt.
The most important definition of grace I’ve learned through personal experience
is that it is receiving kindness and compassion when you don’t deserve it at
all (or giving kindness and compassion to someone who doesn’t deserve it at
all).
