Unconditional Positive Regard
Since we live in our own heads, we tend to give ourselves the benefit of the doubt. But we judge others harshly in part because we can’t see what burdens they carry. Healthy relationships are characterized by Unconditional Positive Regard, or giving others the benefit of the doubt. This is a grace we can only give when we first receive it from God. So how do we do that?

Jesus’ resurrection wasn’t the end of the story; it was the beginning of God’s new creation. The Resurrection is God’s first step toward reclaiming creation, and we get to be a part of it. By choosing to follow Jesus, we leave the old reality dominated by sin and death and step into God’s kingdom, where we find life. This new life has already begun. And yet we’re also still waiting, because God’s kingdom has not yet come in full. How do we live in the tension between the Already and the Not Yet?
