Grace

I had a profound thing happen to me this past week. As a Christian I always try to walk the path that Christ walks. I fail miserably sometimes and always look to God for forgiveness. Well this past week I had someone close to me do something unlawful which involved me indirectly but still affected me. When the person that it affected the most called and asked me how things should play out, I told him something had to be done in the aspect of getting this person to stop going down the path she was going. The next day I got a copy of the email he sent out to the person. He took the path of giving grace and not pressing any charges. Grace! Something that I expect to get from God for free, no questions asked, just given. Then why didn't I think about giving this person grace? It's because I live in a world that wants justice. That is not an excuse but what I perceive as a mind set. I wish my mind set was to think of grace first. You know do unto others as you would have done to you. So the next time something happens to me let me think of how Christ would walk that path before you walk it.
