Grace. We often hear people say, “There but for the grace of God…” Why is it that we think that people who are struggling or who have experienced some level of trauma or difficulty are outside of the grace of God? Grace is not the absence of struggle or pain. Grace is finding the love of God despite the struggle or pain. When we embrace the grace of God, we are accepting the unconditional love that exists no matter what our circumstances. When we embrace the grace of God, we no longer see fear and division. When we embrace the grace of God, we realize the unity of all of Creation and choose to respond to the needs of Creation through acts of care, love, kindness, and peace.
From where I sit, my focus is on seeing the grace in everything around me. All of Creation sings the song of grace. I listen. I add my voice to bring harmony and peace.
