Grace Goes Before Me

I've been thinking a lot about grace and how much it's needed right now in my world for me and for others. So I wrote something about grace that I'd like to share with you and then elaborate on. I want to talk about what grace does for me. I need more of it. I need more of it for myself and for others. Because when I find myself wanting to change somebody, instead of changing me, I think, Nope...That's not how grace works. Grace allows me to love people where they are. To give them grace to be who they are, wrinkle spots and all, and me the same. I don't wanna change them. I'll let them change themselves. Actually, what happens is, if someone needs to change, that's between them and God, that's not my business. My business is to work on me.I've been thinking a lot about grace and how much it's needed right now in my world for me and for others.
