SABRINA
Psalm 86:15 give us the perfect picture of God. “You, Lord, are a compassionate, gracious, God. Slow to anger and abundant in faithful love and truth.”
How different this is from what we see in the world. Society suggests that in order to achieve, one must be ruthless - quick to react and make decisions, be curt, intimidate others. All we have to do is turn on the nightly news to see this. But in being a reflection of God, in doing HIS will, we are not to react, but be proactive.
We should BE like God in our attitude to others-not making quick judgements but acting slowly, thoughtfully, with tenderness and self-control. By doing so, we not only bring honor to God, but build up others around us. Granted, it is often not our human nature to put our pride or control on the line, to take that deep breath, offer grace and the benefit of the doubt to others, but it IS what God calls us to do.
Go today, IN grace, OFFERING grace, and be a reflection of God to someone in desperate need of God’s love today!
