Grace

So I was just searching Google online for something and this showed up under my search:
Grace at TargetFind Grace Online. Shop & Save at Target.com Today.www.Target.com

Sometimes I wish I could just go online and purchase some grace from Target or any online store at that. Just an easy quick fix, right? But thankfully...grace is free. But there is a catch, it means we must humble ourselves to receive the grace...we must realize the mistakes we've made and decide to accept that grace. If only it was simple enough to stay at home, shop online in our pajamas and purchase that grace without anyone knowing. But when we receive the grace, it becomes evident to those around us. We can't stay the same person with that grace in our lives. We change...we become a person who shows grace to others as well. Once we have it and are full, we start to overflow...overflow to others. That's the ripple effect of grace. It can't just stay in one place. It goes out further and further. Grace is meant for all...but we can be selfish with it. We can hold it to ourselves, enjoying the peace we've found because of that grace. Or maybe we just take advantage of it. Maybe we just know it'll always be there and we no longer hold tight to it. Not letting it go. Then we start to put it on a shelf and come back to it when necessary. But that isn't how this grace works. This grace works out of passion, love and mostly sacrifice. This grace is for you once...once that should cover your life; mistakes and every direction you go. But you can give up the grace, you'll give it up if you aren't holding on to it. If you don't cherish every moment filled with that grace.

So why are you holding your grace and not letting others have some as well?
