Gleanings For The Soul

Extend Some grace and Love to Yourself.

We were in a Church service recently when the preacher asked for anyone who has never told a lie to raise their hand. In that awkward moment in the congregation as we all pondered the question, he quickly added: “if you raise your hand, you are actually lying”. Of course that eased the tension as the people laughed 🙂 This made me ponder about my own failures as a Child of God, and His unconditional love and forgiveness that are unmerited.
Have you failed in your life and those failures still haunt you? Some mistakes and shortcomings may have brought setbacks, delays, humiliation, shame, self condemnation and much more. But today I urge you to extend some grace and love to yourself. It’s prudent to realize that we actually grow from our failures just as much when we appreciate our humanity and embrace God’s help and strength. Are you down right now? Dust yourself and stand again… “For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again…” Proverbs 24:16a
