Daily Lesson for October 9, 2014

Today's daily lesson is from Luke chapter 7 verse 

“Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.” 

The way to know how deeply someone has accepted grace in their lives is to watch the way they love.

Those who are always blaming, belittling, and shaming others, or distancing and protecting themselves from the failure and shame of others are really protecting themselves from their own sense of failure and shame.

People who point fingers at co-workers, or throw their spouses under the bus, hide from their children's failures are really covering up their own sense of and inadequacy and shame.

Here's an interesting assignment. Go to a junior high talent show. Listen to the very worst singer to sing. Watch everybody cringe when her voice cracks. And after its done watch and see if her daddy stands up and cheers. If so $100 says he himself is living in the fullness of his own Father's grace, love, and unconditional acceptance.
