November 15: Today I am thankful for grace. Grace has been modeled throughout my life by various people. However, it wasn't until recently that I really understood what exactly grace is and how grace can be extended to others in practical ways. Ultimately, because of the grace that I have received through Christ, I have the ability to show Christ to others by extending that same grace to them: the grace I never once deserved, and the grace that I can never earn. I have been earnestly seeking ways in which to show others grace, whether it be a small thing or dealing with much harder things in life, but I can tell you this: extending grace to others has been fulfilling and opened doors that I never thought possible. It is so very freeing, and I praise God for that.
