Bearing Our Own Load with God's Grace
You ever feel like you have such a huge load or responsibility you find yourself ducking them or delegating them to someone else? I certainly do. But getting someone else to do them doesn’t change the fact you’re responsible for them. But when you take up the responsibility that’s in front of you instead of pawning it off, God’s Grace can help us tackle that list. Look, I get it, life is unfair most of the time in this wicked, ridiculous world we live in...but God is just. I always have the ability to choose how to respond to life’s curve balls and ridiculousness, and for that, I am held responsible by God. I may not be able to change the way people treat me or what happens in my life, but I most definitely can change the way I respond. I am responsible to God for my response. I/We resort to playing the blame-game when things don’t go our way, ever since the Garden of Eden, but we cannot dodge our responsibility and for that I have to give an account.As children of God, let’s choose to be more responsible today. I need to, how about you? As Paul said, “For each will have to bear his own load.”Galatians 6:5 ESVHave a great week!Be Nice. Grace wins.

Today is short and sweet because God's love is simple. His love endures forever. I felt it yesterday at treatment, like a father's arm around a son. I am humbled with gratitude.

Cancel the Debt
Forgiven people should be forgiving people. Forgiveness is a decision to cancel the debt, regardless of whether the other person admits, apologizes, or even knows. Who can you release today?

The Most Expensive Gift
Grace. What is it exactly? Paul says we can't earn God's favor by works. Righteousness comes through faith. Grace is the most expensive gift, given freely to the one who puts his faith in Jesus.
