"At some point in our lives, we will be around people who irritate us. Not only will we be around those who irritate us, but we must also ask the question: Do we irritate others? Sin in the world has left us with difficult and negative people. We must decide: Will we be a 'grin-and-bear-it' Christian, or will we have the courage to live by grace? The Bible shows us how Jesus displayed ultimate grace. We, as sinners, were given something we did not deserve. Christ's death on the cross was a show of grace—a sacrificial death to pay the penalty for our sin. Jesus gave us what we did not deserve; He brought us forgiveness through grace!"
Grace - that which we do not deserve, unmerited favor, unearned benefits, undeserved kindness.
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith - and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8
For every person in your life, you can be a person of "grace" or a person of "grudge" but you can't be both!
