How to you give grace to someone, when you have to call them out on breaking rules? I'm a person that used to see everything as black and white. Lately, it is all grey. But when it comes around to it, I want to see it for black and white. Instead, I see how I believe God wants us to live, but also the area of grace. How do we encourage others to accept grace, but not to abuse it. And if they believe they are right, how do you explain that they are making bad decisions, without telling them they are wrong? And where does grace fall in this?
Also, just because God gives grace, does that mean I should allow something to go on? Or do I call a stop to it, even if it hurts me and it hurts the person.
I am so incredibly confused right now.
Please pray for me. Pray for clarification. Pray for understanding of grace. And pray for a situation that I have to deal with.
I thought youth ministry was supposed to get easier as I learned what I was doing...I feel like I'm starting all over!
I will pray for you! I felt like I was in the same place last year too, and it was really hard, and its still really hard.
