Extending grace

Individuals that work successfully with people are in the habit of extending lots of grace.

We humans are a tough lot to put up with. We lack discipline, are emotional and moody. We make mistakes (sometimes serious ones), and drop the ball. Our backgrounds are so diverse it may seem like we’re from another country. Our communication skills are poor and we have our own interests first.

Given enough time, everyone will disappoint us in some way. It is at that time we will find ourselves shortening our efforts in someone’s direction or extending grace to them.

Another good thing to remember, “Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.”

Someday, you’re going to need some grace extended to you.
