Extending Grace

Extending grace looks like and says the following:

•  I still love you even when ...

•  I won't go anywhere even though this hurts.  I'm still right here.

•  Grace moves toward even when we have every reason to move away.

•  Grace says "We will get through this".

•  Grace is letting go of our pride and opening our heart to humility, acknowledging the fact that we are far from perfect and deeply flawed.

•  Grace says you are worth loving even when you make mistakes or poor choices.

•  Grace acknowledges the past is the past and you can never go back.

•  Grace doesn't take the actions of other personally, but chooses to believe it has more to do with them and less to do with you.

•  Grace delivers the message loud and clear that you are there for them and will support them no matter what.
