Mercy and Grace in Relationships

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. – 1 Corinthians 13:7 NLT

Biblical Secrets to a Happy Marriage – a @YouVersion Plan

“When we allow God’s love and mercy to flow through us to our spouse, we will find less conflict, more grace, quicker forgiveness and much more delight at home.”

I know that too often, I jump to conclusions and assumptions instead of giving people, especially my wife, the benefit of the doubt. This an area that has produced far more conflict then it could have had I just executed a little grace and mercy first.

We have a God that shows us far more grace, love, and mercy than we deserve. So it really goes without question that we need to attempt to do b the same in our relationships, especially with our spouse.

I am blessed to have a wife that has a generous heart to help challenge me and counter my weakness in this area.

    What’s The Latest?

    Well, so what ever happened to the daily wisdom that I would bring to this thing they call the internet or blog-o-sphere?

This has been a long awaited task. There are some features that still need to be put in place but things changed along the way that will cause those things to require a different approach.
