Extending grace

7.6.2020
|
Daily Grace

All of our emotions are heightened during this time of sheltering in place. Family members or roommates can get on our nerves. Frustration piles up more than usual.

It is difficult to give ourselves grace when our family, work, and social spaces have become one. Extending God’s grace and patience to our families, friends, and colleagues can feel out of reach.

Our ministry is to testify to God’s grace, especially in these challenging moments. No matter what the future may hold, pointing others toward God’s grace and sharing the ministry of forgiveness, love and acceptance, is our calling.

This message is an excerpt from “Grace in the wilderness” by SommerAnn McCullough in Bold Cafe. Today we remember Jan Hus, martyr, who died in 1415.
