WHEW!!! We have just returned from our 5th Celebrate Your Marriage conference for the spring- we have 2 more next weekend! It has been a great season of celebration and renewal for couples. We have had some great words of wisdom from special speakers. This past weekend, our special guest was Phillip Yancey, author of many christian books such as "What is so amazing about Grace" In his talk this weekend he commented that some have called it "what is so annoying about grace"! HOW true! I have always believed that when it comes to loving someone and trying our best as christians to live what Christ has taught, I would rather err on the side of grace vs. the side of the law. BUT at times that is annoying! It is not easy to give grace when we would rather judge. It is not easy to dispense grace when we would rather find fault and blame. It is not easy when we think so highly of ourselves and would rather point the finger at someone else rather than give grace.
For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God
~ Ephesians 2:8
Grace is a gift: to us from God that we might be saved and we must give it freely to others.
