Grace for All

I have been thinking about grace a lot lately. Sometimes I self pityingly think about the lack of grace shown to me by others. Of course, I believe in God's grace. I am saved by grace. But honestly, how much grace do I show others? Maybe to my favorites, to family members and friends that don't mess up all that much (at least in my mind), I show grace. But what about those that need it the most? Those that continually make a mess of things? Those that continually offend others, especially me? Those that continually let others down, and have absolutely nothing to give? Do I show them grace? Love confronts. We are to speak the truth in love. It makes healthier relationships and can turn people away from life's dead ends. However, if we do these things and they aren't seasoned with grace, are we really doing any good? Is there actually any love in it, if there is no grace to be found? What exactly does grace look like? Of course, it doesn't mean that we excuse bad behavior. However, I get the feeling it looks much more like Jesus, than Amber's school of hard knocks and judgment. Just some hard questions I am asking myself.
