There's nothing more humbling or liberating than truly letting go of everything negative in your life. When I began to let people off the hook and loved them as they were with no reservations or demands, something miraculous began to take place. I began to see everyone around me for the miracle they are instead of the way I thought they should be, which is truly the beginning of Grace, and Grace is the only way to live.
Grace has become the only thing I truly believe is important in my life, because through Grace everything else we ever truly need has been provided for in spades. Grace encompasses so many virtues and blessings, it would take years to fully digest them all, if ever, but first, let me show you what Merriam-Webster has to say.
Grace 1a: unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification; b: a virtue coming from God; c: a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace; 2a: approval <http://approval/> , favor <http://favor/> <stayed in his good graces> b archaic: mercy <http://mercy/> , pardon <http://pardon/> ; c: a special favor : privilege <http://privilege/> ; d: disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy, or clemency; e: a temporary exemption; reprieve <http://reprieve/> ; 3a: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic; b: a pleasing appearance or effect : charm <http://charm/> ; c: ease and suppleness of movement or bearing; synonyms see mercy. <http://mercy/>
If we break it down, just by this little snipped of the dictionary definition, here's a little about how Grace works:
1a: Unmerited divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification; b: a virtue coming from God; c: a state of sanctification enjoyed through divine grace. It doesn't get much better than that. Grace, when given or received, gives life and energy. The power of Grace transforms whatever it comes into contact with by imparting life into it. Sanctification means to be made right. When we begin to see people as the miracle they were created to be, we no longer see their faults and failures, and we are actually activating their incredible potential. The more Grace we give to others, a process of regeneration happens that not only gives life to those around us, but activates unmerited (can't be earned or deserved) divine assistance in our own lives. Grace is the operation of God in us to us and through us.
2a: Approval, favor (as in) stayed in his good graces; b archaic: mercy, pardon; c: a special favor; privilege; d: disposition to or an act or instance of kindness, courtesy or clemency; e: a temporary exemption (reprieve).
Every time we look through the eyes of Grace at others and ourselves, we see nothing but approval and favor. The most miserable person in the world is transformed when Grace is activated in their life. Whenever we give Grace to anyone, even in the smallest measure, we have negated the lie that says they are not worthy of approval and favor. We have become a living conduit of kindness, clemency and mercy. By giving Grace we are providing the essential element required for all of us to succeed. It is a special favor we bestow and it is truly the gift that keeps on giving.
3a: a charming or attractive trait or characteristic; b: a pleasing appearance or effect; charm <http://charm/> ; c: ease and suppleness of movement or bearing.
There is nothing more beautiful than Grace. Grace transforms people from the inside out. Grace is magnetic and the more it's given, the more powerful it grows. Grace takes what is broken and damaged and gives it new life. Grace draws people in and it heals them. Here's the thing: You can't give or get too much Grace. The more Grace you are given, the more it grows. Grace is not just a word. It is the secret to a life of ease and enables us to rise into a abundant, contented life. Through Grace we learn how to truly Love and how to truly live.
When you get a minute, look up Grace and all it's meanings. I could write a whole other book on the word Grace alone, but I will simply state here that Grace is truly the only thing that can transform a life. I'm living proof of that.
Of course, just like the dictionary says, with Grace comes Mercy because Grace and Mercy will always go hand in hand.
