...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 #letgracerunfree #habitsofgrace

...The whole assembly grumbled against the leaders... "We are now in your hands. Do to us whatever seems good and right to you." So Joshua saved them from the Israelites... Joshua 9:18, 25-26 NIV Joshua's act of grace wasn't popular. Sometimes when we exercise grace its not popular with the crowd, with others, and sometimes its our own heart that is the enemy. We're battling ourselves. Yesterday at home, I didn't choose grace but spoke out of selfishness and pride. Selfishness says No. Me  first Pride says no, I'm more important My stuff, my interests, my...happiness... Grace says you first Grace says you're just as important. So why isn't Grace our default position? Acts of grace become Habits of Grace when we keep choosing that way...in the everyday responses and in the big things...because we follow the One who is Grace #letgracerunfree #habitsofgrace #agentofgrace #sunday #worship #thisisourGod
