Many times, I have to admit that my level of joy and happiness seems to only be the product whatever my human experiences have been or will be. When I feel bored, listless or simply insufficient, I often go looking for a new experience to have, a new project to tackle and succeed at, a new financial gain to reach for or a new relationship that will make me happy. I place the source of my good outside myself. If only, if only, if only.
Todays Daily Word speaks of Grace. “The grace of God is alive in me.” Grace is simply a given from God and once we recognize it, we experience happiness and satisfaction just in being. This does not mean we do not seek gratifying human experiences. It just means that we start rather than end with self-love and self-worth just because we are children of God, a part of the perfection and wholeness that God is.
This is Grace. It is just given. Daily Word continues “Grace dawns in my awareness as soon as I move beyond the limits of my human understanding. I let go and let the peace, love, wisdom, and strength of God fill me, and guide me.” Let’s embrace this truth.
