Grace {Think On These Things}

{Affiliate Links Used.}

In 2011, I selected a Word of the Year: GRACE. Little did I know what a tough year it would be. I would have to learn the real meaning of the word GRACE, and even harder for me, I would have to learn to give it. In the end, I was thankful for the lessons learned as within a couple of years I would have to extend grace to those that would devastate my life. I see grace as forgiveness. And that's exactly what it is. However, it is far more than that. It is unmerited favor given to us by God and others. It is a letting go of the pain that was heaped on us. It is the opposite of anger. It is realizing that we are all sinners and acting accordingly. It is a gift we get that we never earned or deserved.

In the month of April, I will be focusing on grace again through writing out Scriptures related to the topic. Want to join me? "Think On These Things" is a monthly Scripture writing plan, but it can be more than just copying out God's Word. It can be words to meditate on and/or divide deeper into through journaling or verse mapping. You can spend just the time writing the verses out or you can go deeper and longer. So why don't you join us this month? See below for more information.
