With Grace

I'm speaking solely to myself today, even though I'll speak in we language. ;-)  Sometimes people are hard to handle. Our brokenness gets in the way so often. We respond in ways that are hurtful, even when we don't mean to hurt. We give advice when none has been requested. We offer words of what we think are wisdom, and instead they come out condescending. However, there are two ways this street. Sometimes we choose to be offended, when no offense was intended. Sometimes we grab onto only the negative comment and focus on it until it becomes all consuming. How can we handle one another? With grace. People are broken. As I've said before, we have to look at them through God's eyes and love on them as Christ would. Get over it and move on in grace through Christ Jesus.
