It's painful and difficult to extend grace to some frightening people, even humanly impossible sometimes --- but that's when God comes shining through for all to see. What we can't do, He can do in and through us, a real shedding abroad (instead of shredding) of His grace from our hearts!Sylvia Rhttp://sylvrpen.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5198379419907919214.post-81243055794448826652012-05-25T05:39:38.425-07:002012-05-25T05:39:38.425-07:00This is a convicting, yet encouraging post about e...This is a convicting, yet encouraging post about extending grace when we want it in abundance for ourselves.
