SPACE FOR GRACE

I walked past a van parked in front of a handicapped children's center recently. The symbol of a wheelchair was on a sticker on the window of the sliding door. It read, "Please, Leave Extra Room." Knowing that the people on board that van need extra space enables me to give it to them.

If, somehow, we could look into each other's heart, and if we then realized that everyone wears a sticker on the inside with a wheelchair and the message, "Please, Leave Extra Room." Wouldn't it be easy to give more space? And wouldn't we all be better neighbors, and employees, and husbands, and friends, and even enemies?

"Come to me," Jesus said, "All of you who have wheelchairs, and hang ups, and handicaps, and issues, and problems, and are outcast for whatever reasons.....I'll give you extra room."

That's grace...and we all need it. Today. Be gracious; leave extra room.
