It is a good life when we’re thankful for it. We can get grace from the Lord for our weak
times, and give grace to others for theirs.
Our flesh wants us to keep a record of others’ wrongs to use
as weapons against them. This happens
when we fail to ask for grace, and when we choose not to forgive. Yet our Lord
said we could bind people through unforgiveness, or loose them by forgiving their
sins. (Jn 20:23).
One who uses grace finds that it is a weapon against satan’s
kingdom, and forgiveness is his ammunition; a thankful heart will cause us to
wisely choose them both.
This then is a good life, when one would see himself grow in
friendship with the weak, fortified only by the grace God supplies, and
thankful for it all. Amen.
