Understanding Grace

The grace of God is always with me.

Thank goodness for grace. While in human form I am going to make mistakes.  Grace- moral strength is one of websters explanations.  When I practice moral strength I am doing God's will for me.

When I take a walk on a beautiful day, I feel particularly blessed.  As I think of loving relationships in my life, I feel like one of the luckiest people on the planet.  God's grace envelopes me, and in that grace I live happily and on purpose.

I am so grateful to have built a relationship directly with God. I always thought God only took care of the things I could not take care of. Now I know he wants to be a part of my every breath.  Thank goodness for grace helping me remember this and turn my energy back to God when I stray.

As I open to a greater understanding of grace, I realize it is available to me and to all people.  Grace, as an expression of God's love, is ever-present and always accessible.  It is there when I am feeling uplifted and when I am feeling busy or frustrated.  It takes many forms, guidance, healing, opportunity and at times an overwhelming sense of oneness with God.  As I open my mind and heart to grace, I feel God's love.

When he came and saw the grace of God, he rejoiced and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast devotion.  acts 11:23
