Reflection
Points:
How could you do better with sowing grace, compassion, mercy, compassion, forgiveness, and love?
Have there been any situations when you have been continually complaining? How can you change that attitude of complaining to one of gratitude?
Can you think of times when people have extended grace to you, overlooking your shortcomings?
Do you need to apologize to any family members, coworkers, or friends for being "stingy" in your grace-giving?
Power
Verses:
Philippians 2:14-16, "Do everything without arguing or complaining so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life." (NIV)
2 Corinthians 9:6-7, "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion for God loves a cheerful giver." (NIV)
Ephesians 4:2, "Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love." (NIV)
Colossians 3:12-13, "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." (NIV)
