We all stumble on the path in many ways.
James 3:2 FNVNT 
Yep there's a context for this idea, but I'm wondering whether someone needs to know today that we all make mistakes. 
We all get things wrong.
We all trip up, trip over, make a wrong choice.
All.
None of us get it right all the time.
No matter what their instagram tells you, we all stumble on the path sometimes.
So, we can know that our God is Grace and His Grace is for us, and we can extend grace to others, but for some reason we can be really hard on ourselves.
We have no grace for me. 
Even though we know we all stumble on the path, I shouldn't.
I'm wondering if this hinders us from accepting grace from others and from fully accepting Grace from our God.
Maybe this little reminder from James can help shift things a little, we're all in this together, walking each other towards home, accepting our humanness, limitations, frailties, and perhaps giving ourselves a little more grace.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
