Definition Of Giving Yourself Grace

Thank you for your beautiful words.

Definition of giving yourself grace. All of the above texts describe the christian s relationship to grace and giving. Our definition of earthly grace the best we can come up with as you said cheapened grace and then there is the god given grace straight from the father that only he can give. This is what i think we mean when we say we should give grace that we give free passes. You see grace is often a word we throw around but struggle to define.

It is a grace from god and is based on christ s example. When we get used to giving ourselves grace and extending that cheapened grace to others we forget how beautiful and how overwhelmingly amazing god s grace truly is. In contrast to the law which commanded giving new covenant giving is grace from beginning to end. Whether it is someone in counseling describing the struggle not to condemn themselves or a friend offering me well meaning advice when i am struggling with my own perfectionism or the content of a recent blog from a popular christian author.
