I haven't been in the greatest space with God in recent days and its made me contemplate what the nature of grace is. Here's my attempt at a definition. Let me know what you think about grace. Grace is ... when I deserve nothing, but receive something.
In my relationship with God this means that though I don't deserve his mercy he has freely given it to me in Jesus. For me that is an awesome and life changing truth.
In my relationships with others it means that I need to treat others not as they deserve, but in the same way God has treated me, with mercy and compassion. Now that is tough.
"Lord help me my heart to grasp what your grace to me is so that I might treat others with grace."
