This is my response to the suggestion made in the "28 Days..." exploration of the Mystical style to re-read the section in "3 Colors..." on the mystical style and post reflections.
My wife and I both have taken the 3 colors of Ministry, Love and Spirituality.
My Spiritual style is very Green (Sensory with a Rational wing).
My love themes are evenly split between green (justice) and blue (grace) with red (truth) trailing.
My Gifts are dominantly (half) blue and my starting point is also blue (Mary).
Während die Wahrheit es bisweilen erforderlich machen kann, Menschen zu demaskieren, um zu offenbaren, wer sie wirklich sind, kann es ein Ausdruck von Gnade sein, eine gewisse Verhüllung der Realität zu respektieren, wenn sie Scham, Geheimnis oder Würde eines Menschen schützt. Um zu verstehen, worum es beim biblischen Konzept der Gnade geht, ist es hilfreich, den neutestamentlichen Begriff charis genauer unter die Lupe zu nehmen. Es ist die gleiche Wurzel, von dem unser Ausdruck „charmant" abstammt.
While truth may require removing veils from reality, unmasking people to reveal who they really are, grace may well imply respecting those veils if they shelter the shame, mystery, or dignity of a person. To understand what grace is all about, it's worthwhile to meditate on the New Testament term charis. It's the root from which the English word "charming” stems. Actually, charis has a lot to do with charm: It can refer either to physical beauty or to a winsome attitude that radiates warmth, acceptance, and joy.
