Cut one another some slack

Morning: Psalm 37:1-18; Deuteronomy 4:32-40; 2 Corinthians 3:1-18

Evening: Psalm 37:19-42; Luke 16:1-9

Zealous to be diligent stewards of all they have received, people of faith can sometimes get pretty rigid about who is worthy of grace and who is not. They are often first hardest on themselves, but this can easily spill over into being judgmental of others’ failings. Jesus encourages us all to go lightly with whatever expectations we have of one another. In this often fraught and angry world, we need friends. Maybe Jesus is saying: Cut one another some slack. Trust one another. Win friends by being humble about your own failings and by forgiving others for theirs.
