May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O LORD, the LORD Almighty; may those who seek you not be put to shame because of me. Psalm 69:6 NIV 

Our lives really can make a difference to our family, our friends, our church and those around us.  Our response to situations has a great impact on the lives of those who know us. Living in God’s grace that is given in Jesus Christ changes our focus on life. Ephesians 4:30, and 31 give us great picture of this grace, Get rid of all bitterness, rage, anger, harsh words, and slander, as well as all types of evil behavior. Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.  This is our Lord's answer to, May those who hope in you not be disgraced because of me, O LORD!  God’s Grace is full of life, kindness, gentleness and joy!  There is no regret of any kind when we let the grace of Christ give direction to our hearts. May those who seek you not be put to shame because of me. Today enjoy the power of eternal life that is in you, it is called God’s grace. Here you will find no shame of any kind; in fact what you will experience is life that is full of rejoicing, light hearted and a sweet relief to you and those around you.  Enjoy!
