Grace
I open my heart to the grace of God.
Grace
pours into my life when I open my heart to the goodness and light of
God, especially during a dark time. I don’t make grace happen, but I can
choose to be open to it. Grace seems to come unbidden, but my
receptivity welcomes its presence as an outpouring of love-filled energy
and wholeness that I can feel in my heart.
Sometimes my greatest learning and growth comes from what seem to be setbacks or mistakes. That’s when I experience grace. Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh has written, “No mud, no lotus,” which means that the soul blossoms through its difficulties and trials. Grace is the power that sees me through tough times and leads me into new strengths and new learning.
