Practical Grace

Over the past year or so I believe I have come across a good axiom in regards to practically living out grace in one's life, and that is:

The moment of offense, anger, or aggression towards a person is the precise moment one ought to pursue grace, that is an undeserved act of love, toward that person.

It is amazing to me how grace is so counter intuitive to our fallen nature. It shines a clear light on our inherit depravity. That in truth, we do indeed need a Savior to be able to act in a holy way toward those around us who bear God's image.
