What is Grace?

Grace is a gift that has been given to me in times of despair, when my heart has been broken open, when my resistance is down, when I have needed a greater connection and meaning in my life.

Each time I have received the gift of grace, I have been filled with hope for a better future, fears were wiped away and change came about very quickly.

“Grace is the acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear.
By grace alone, the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains, that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace cannot believe the world of fear is real.” ~A Course in Miracles L169

Grace touches your soul and reminds you that you are not alone. It is more than a thought - it is an integrated knowing that everything is ok.

When you are given the gift of grace, nothing can take it from you. You have no fear, no worries or doubts. It is known and fully understood.

You cannot conjure grace.

You cannot learn grace.

You can ask for grace to be given you.

You can ready yourself with an open mind that has become aware that there are things you don’t know. It is in this state you are ready to receive the gift of Grace.

“His gift of grace is more than just an answer. It restores all memories the sleeping mind forgot; all certainty of what Love’s meaning is.”  ~A Course in Miracles L168

I shared one of my moments of grace in 365 Moments of Grace, a compilation of 365 personal stories of grace, miracles, and transformations from beautiful souls all around the world.

"Courage is grace under pressure."   ~Ernest Hemingway
