...So Joshua saved them...
Joshua 9: 26 NIV
Acts of Grace.
The greatest act of grace came from Jesus who gave up everything, humbled himself... Jesus, who lived out the Habits of Grace
And we get the opportunity to be Jesus hands and feet in this world - maybe we won't save a whole people group (but who knows!, maybe you will) - but there's always someone in front of us to extend grace to.
Grace opens it's arms, not fold them
Grace sees all people as made in the image and likeness of God (including you!)
Grace doesnt expect thanks but gives thanks
Grace has an abundance mindset - by loving people you are never poorer for it - says there's room for one more...
Grace blesses because it is blessed, gives because it has been forgiven, loves because it is loved
And That Grace is in you and me

...four men arrived carrying a paralyzed man on a mat. They couldn't bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, so they dug a hole through the roof above his head. Then they lowered the man on his mat, right down in front of Jesus... Mark 2:3-4 NLT Great account of inventiveness and determination to get their friend to see Jesus. Love this. Do you wonder about the back story? Are these the same 4 people who bring this man food? Take him to the toilet every day. Clean him up. Does he live with one of them? Are they family? Are there whole families or groups of people in the background who have supported and cared for this man? A group of children who grew up seeing their parents love in action? Probably. Healing Help Hope These things are found in community. These 4 guys are the heroes here. The upfront people. One day it will be interesting to see who the background heroes are. #loveinaction #community #inthistogether #walkingeachotherhome #gospelofmark
