Growing in grace gives you the desire to see others grow in Grace also.
It is a beautiful feeling to see people let go and truly seek the heart of God concerning every area of their lives.
On the contrary, when you grow in grace and see people stuck in cycles of sorrow by the way they live and treat others it is painful to witness, they dig their own pits over and over again calling it personality or whatever other name it is labelled.
God is not going to come before us with a rod and a staff in his hands, especially if he wants to judge the affairs of your heart, instead he will send a stranger into our circle, they can bare many different names, daughter in law, son in law, co-worker, neighbor, even a taxi driver or another type of worker representing a company where you may have sought their services, or a total “stranger stranger”, just to see how you deal with them.
How we treat people is a clear reflection of the measure of Grace that God has given unto us. Mankind is potentially very evil without the help from God.
We need the sufficient Grace of God to be our best selves, yes because we cannot do it alone.
Extreme bitterness, selfishness, avariciousness, anger, provocation, resentment and violence are all signs that the ways of the good Lord are far from you and have not yet truly impacted your heart. When God is with someone they will talk from a position of love, and act out of care, concern and compassion. They will express the fruits of the Spirit in every way possible.
It is not possible to remain the same internally when the Grace of God has truly rested upon you.
My prayer today is that you “Grow and Glow” in the Grace of the Lord God Almighty, so that you can live in peace with others, for the sake of your own soul in Jesus name.
May the Lord Bless you and keep you, may his face shine upon you! emotionally, physically and spiritually, may you reflect Christ by your actions and not just your words in the mighty name of Jesus.
Seek God’s face and Grow in Grace!
