God's grace isn't meant to stay hidden. Grace changes the way we worship, shapes the way we love, and shines through the way we live.
BLESS THEM | Don't curse the person who hurt you
God's grace changes us from the inside out, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live and respond differently.
5 ways you can bless those who have hurt you…
- Bless them with your words
- Bless them with your prayers
- Bless them by refusing retaliation
- Bless them by doing something good
- Bless them by releasing them to God
- Bless them with your words
- Bless them with your prayers
- Bless them by refusing retaliation
- Bless them by doing something good
- Bless them by releasing them to God
FEEL WITH THEM | Don't let pride and comparison turn people into enemies
Comparison turns people into competition. But grace allows me to celebrate you without needing to become you.
DON'T BECOME THEM | Don't let their behavior determine your behavior
Don't let someone else's behavior determine who you become.
TRUST GOD | You don't have to get even because God sees
Paul advises: Leave it to God. Why? Because God understands what you are unaware of. God perceives what you cannot see. God knows the entire story, including motives and hearts. And ultimately, God is a more just judge than us.
DO GOOD | Don't just avoid evil—overcome evil with good
Gods grace changes us from the inside out, and the Holy Spirit empowers us to live differently.
WHO IS GOD CHALLENGING YOU TO LOVE EVEN THOUGH THEY DON’T DESERVE IT?
