Giving Confident Grace

January 3, 2021

Happy New Year, everyone! I meant to have this post up on January 1st, but time got away from me. I have been putting a lot of thought into this post and I am thrilled to share my thoughts with you all. My faith based posts seem to get a lot of traction and I am so thankful that my words can inspire you.

Grace is something that I really want to work on myself and I want to talk about it here first. So, what is confident grace? I would describe this as showing grace in a confident manner. This can be shown in two ways: Giving grace without substituting your confidence and exhibiting confidence without substituting grace.

In this post, I want to share the words that I hope to implement more into my everyday life. I have some personal growth that I would like to achieve in this new year and that is partly what I love about the month of January. I love the idea of starting fresh and making some important and necessary changes when needed.

Generous Grace

What is generous grace? One of the areas that I hope to work on this year is giving the grace that I want to receive. I oftentimes find myself being quick to anger or frustration with others when they act in a way that I do not understand. While they are in the wrong, I am aiming to adjust my reactions so that I can improve my own life. I won’t have to answer for anyone else’s actions but my own, so I want to act accordingly. Grace is something that we can give to those that might not deserve it, but it can help us from keeping all of those feelings of frustration from destroying us. There will always be people and things that frustrate us, but we don’t have to let them dictate our lives.

It can be hard to show grace to those who we deem unworthy of such treatment.
