Grace is something you crave. Grace in your life, in your soul, in your
world. Yet you do not recognize Grace
when you have it. You rail against the
injustices of life but fail to recognize the Graces that fill your lives. You take it for granted that Grace will
always be there for you. But will it? Will it infiltrate your life when you aren’t beckoning
it? When you are so preoccupied with
earthly endeavors? You must look beyond
the veils of illusion to know the true meaning of Grace and its impact on your
lives. How to do that, you ask? Well, it comes without reason and without
knowing. It sneaks into lives in the
night like a stealthy animal too afraid to show itself for fear it will be harmed. Yet Grace is always beckoning. "Come hither and I will show you myself. I will give myself to you for your own good
and that of all you touch." Grace
knows. It comes in the night. Bless it, my child. And welcome all the grace that God is
sending. We know the trials. We know the tribulations of earthly life. Let them not undue the glue that holds you
together in difficult times….which is Grace.
Very interesting post on a very interesting subject. I confess I don't think about Grace very much and hadn't really considered it in my own life. I suppose it's simply another form of the abundance that Spirit is constantly showering upon us and, like Spirit's many other gifts, easy to overlook when it's right in front of us. So, just because we don't recognize or appreciate it doesn't mean it isn't there.
ReplyDeleteThis post has given me something new and unexpected to think more deeply about. It is also timely since I've been following a news story that has been troubling to me (I've been mentally "railing against injustices" and "preoccupied with earthly endeavors") and I didn't know how to move beyond it to a more positive place. I guess I should follow the above advice: "Come hither and I will show myself"; look to Spirit to see and accept its Grace if I want to be part of the solution and not simply expand the scope of the problem.
Thank you!
