There are times in life when it seems
that things are just not going according to plan. For someone who
likes following a schedule that can be a challenge. Being gracious
when you feel let down is difficult but in truth it is the only
response that is valid.
Understanding that other people face
the same challenges as you do will go a long way to finding the
strength you need to be able to take a deep breath and take things in
your stride. Grace is always rewarded one way or another and chuck
in a little patience and you will soon see the fruit of your efforts.
Paul faced many imprisonments and there
were many times during these seasons that he did not receive any
support from the church, yet despite this he learned to show grace to
others and not get offended at their lack of support when it was
difficult for them to assist him.
Learning to show grace is an important
part of our spiritual growth so if you are feeling stretched in this
area right now, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and to give you
wisdom to know how best to respond to a given situation.
