Allow others grace and pardon on earth. You will feel better if you do. Peace will come more freely, and love will overpower judgment. Grace is a powerful tool. Use it often and you will see a change in yourself and others. Grace is the reason for salvation and love is the avenue. Show others grace today and live in peace and joy all your days on earth and into eternity.
