Grace isn’t just something we receive from God—it’s something we’re called to give. When we’ve been forgiven much, we are empowered to forgive. When we’ve been shown mercy, we can show mercy to others. Grace is the overflow of a heart touched by heaven.

“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32) “Freely you have received; freely give.” (Matthew 10:8)

Extending grace doesn’t mean ignoring wrongs or avoiding truth—it means choosing compassion over condemnation. It means remembering that none of us deserve what God has freely given. And just as He meets us in our weakness, we can meet others in theirs.

It’s not always easy. Sometimes the hardest place to show grace is in your own home, your own church, or your own mirror. But grace is powerful—it heals, restores, and opens hearts to Jesus.

So today, let grace lead the way. You’ve been given more than enough to give some away.

🙏 Prayer: A Prayer for a Grace-Filled Heart

Father, You’ve shown me grace when I didn’t deserve it. Help me to show that same grace to others—not just in words, but in how I forgive, how I listen, and how I love.

Soften my heart where it's become hard. Teach me to respond like Jesus—with truth, but always with compassion.

Let the grace I’ve received become the grace I extend.

In Jesus’ name,

 Amen.
