I GIVE MYSELF GRACE WHEN I . . . Refuse to believe that God loves the popular, attractive, talented, successful, got-it-together people more than he loves and cherishes plain, simple me.

I GIVE MYSELF GRACE WHEN I . . . refuse to play the Pharisee on the heels of a stupid mistake and piously flog myself.  Instead I quickly say,  “I can make different choices with God’s help. The mistake doesn’t define me. It’s a tiny little sliver of the whole pie. Things will be OK. ”

How do you give yourself grace?
