I AM BLOG.

As of late, God has been challenging me a lot in the area of grace. Grace is a tricky thing. In most instances when I think I’m showing grace, I’m actually not. Grace is not given to show that you are the better person. The whole “be the bigger man” concept is not the definition of grace. Christ came to this world as a humble servant, not in superiority or arrogance.

For us, as Christians, to show grace is to be humbled. In our sinfulness and in our brokenness, we received Christ so that we would be viewed as holy and righteous before God. We acknowledge that it is not by our own righteousness that we can stand before God, but it is because of the grace given to us that we are made whole. So for us to show grace to others, we must do so in a humble and broken manner because it was in this state that we ourselves received grace.

What I’m learning in a nutshell: We must be convicted and transformed by God’s grace before we can show grace to others. And when showing grace to our brothers and sisters, we must do so knowing that they received the very same grace as we did.

“Grace finds beauty in everything.”

Yes, I’m a freaking idiot. Yes, I over drafted. More than once. And yes, I’m going to get chewed out for this and it will be well deserved.

I post this online for the world to see because I want to announce my stupidity. This will never happen again.

I LOL’D SO LONG WHEN I SAW THIS!!!

While I am far from being “google master,” I’d like to point out to the rest of you that Google Buzz is not the end of the world. Don’t be “freaked out.” Remain calm and let it pass. Twitter and Facebook and every other social networking website IN THE WORLD will still exist. Except Friendster.

Relax.
