Theme for my life

Bystry and I had our get together tonight. I appreciate her so much. She cracks me up. After some discussion about some parts of Romans tonight, I decided upon a theme for my life. Something I want to live by. Drum roll please.......Love with Grace.......What do you think?

It's easy to love those who love you back. Not so easy to love those who are rude to you, mean to you, etc. To love and show love those who don't "deserve" it.

To give a nice tip even though the waitress/waiter has been rude and has poor customer service
To let go of situations in which people have hurt you and move on
To give money to anyone who asks you. No matter the reason
To not ride the tail of the car that pulled in front of you
To forgive-just because-even if the other person doesn't ask for forgiveness

Christ showed us grace by dying on the cross for our sins. He continues to show us grace even as we continue to fail miserably in many areas of our lives.... The least we can do is to love with grace. To love just because God loves.

Easier said than done. This is a challenge for my life. A challenge I'm willing to take on.
