Mistakes and Grace

**Before you begin reading, sit down, breathe normally and be quiet for 1 minute.**

Mistakes. How do you respond to yourself when you make a mistake? What self-talk happens? Are you beating yourself up? Or are you accepting yourself as human and imperfect? A wise woman once said to me, “You will give others grace when you learn to give yourself grace”. Essentially, I am hard on others because I begin with being hard on myself. Sure there are things we need to rise to, changes we need to make, transformation we need to submit to. Then there is the opposite where we beat ourselves up. We are human – a fact we do not like to admit.
Where do you need to give yourself grace? God has given you grace, will you give it to yourself? Will you give it to others?

**Sit quietly again for as much time as is available to you.**
