Give yourself a little grace, but grow in his grace, too.
The first time a ballet dancer attempts a pirouette, they can’t expect themselves to do so with the perfection and elegance of Misty Copeland. An aspiring screenwriter with innate talent can assume the first draft of their first screenplay won’t be The Shawshank Redemption. And while we’re at it, newlyweds – and those married for decades – may get a lot right, but they will most certainly get a lot wrong.
In every case, each needs to have grace for themselves. But they also must put in the work to grow and get better because of that grace.
Our series Unshakable brings us to one of the most important ideas in the entire Bible. It’s a truth that can free us from the shame of our past, empower us in the present, and change our future.
