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

Being self-focused seems to be what is common to us naturally. But what is natural to grace is a freedom in our emotions, our thinking and our desires that wants to encourage others. The relaxing gift of grace comes when we are aware of the impact our words, our tones, our expressions and even our desires have on those who are around us. There is no stress, anxiety or regret with attitudes of grace that are heard and seen. Grace lightens our load so that the joy of others is important to us and in fact, down right refreshing. On this new day, may you rejoice knowing the impact you have on your family, your friends, your co-workers and even those who do not like you because of the power of our Lord’s grace in you. Your attitudes and actions can rekindle hope and bring about a joy that is absolutely renewing. Let the freedom of his grace have its way in you and you will like this day.
