Grace is the aspect of giving someone something good when they don’t deserve it. Mercy is the idea of NOT giving someone the punishment they deserve. Forgiveness is letting go of bitterness or indignation against another who asks you to do so. (Jesus said to forgive until 70×7. As a joke, a high school friend of mine and I started keeping track of the 490 times we needed to forgive each other. Needless to say, that quickly ceased because she soon exhausted her 490 ) Finally, forbearance may be the hardest of the four to practice, (At least it is for me.) Forbearance is the act of overlooking other’s faults, mistakes, and errors. That little annoyance from your co-worker who taps his pencil incessantly, that OCD practice your spouse insists on EVERY TIME, or the bad habit your child has developed because they learned it from you. I guess the reason I wrote this today is twofold: one of my friends recently told me that she and her husband had returned to church and she loved the message because the pastor explained the Scripture–it was about grace. The second reason I wrote this is that she made me contemplate my own relationship with grace.( Boy, do I need to make some improvements and adjustments! ) Anyway, I hope my musings are somehow a blessing to you. If you have thoughts, please comment. As always, my posts are only a starting point. I do not have all the answers and writing an exhaustive post, essay, or book on any subject would be–well, exhausting! Have a great day! “Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.” (from the New Testament book of II John)
