Do you know how to give yourself grace?  Do you know what grace looks like; feels like; does to you?

I was with a dear friend last night, and she had said something about the ability to give herself more grace – that she was in a situation where she was able to give herself grace.

I thought to myself – am I able to do that?  Do I know what that means?  Am I able to give myself grace?  Or do I live in the unrealistic expectations that I’ve set up for myself?  I found it fascinating to think through such a concept..  Am I really able to give myself grace?  Do I have a supply of it to do that?  Or is by nature – grace something that is undeserved and really something that you can’t really have supply of.  True grace can’t be stored.  Think about that – stored grace.  That’s not any good.

Grace works when it’s given.  Grace works when it is a dynamic thing – static grace does nothing.

I’m not quite sure if I know how to give myself grace.  I am not sure if I am able to do that, but in trying to figure it out, I will give myself grace.
