Probably one of the most difficult times I have exhibiting Grace is when I'm driving.
When someone passes me, pulls into my lane and slows down, I'm most likely not smiling nor is my inclination to be thinking positive thoughts about this person. Of course, I'm sure I'm the only person with this problem. :-)
One of my greatest desires is to get past this problem! God still loves me but I am sure not glorifying Him!
At these times people are eating, thinking, multitasking, talking, stressed at others, late to work and more. There are few greater opportunities for us to share grace more. After all we are most likely in their shoes all too often.
My Dad, when presented with the stress of driving, always said without delay "Well a miss is as good as a mile". What a great display of grace in the car!! He didn't even think about it. He just did not give a thought to anger.
I'm working on it! Giving Grace is a moment by moment experience. Grace is God's love when we fail. If you share this problem, we can pray for each other!
