Grace is a combination of mercy and unconditional love. Grace is not something that must be earned but is given freely and unconditionally. It is something that can only be experienced and can’t truly be defined because it is uniquely different for each individual depending upon their circumstances. In my case, I do know that grace is Divine and comes at a time when I need it most and at a time when I feel almost all is lost or about to be lost. It is a Divine gift that lifts me up, holds me, and cradles me like a baby, letting me know I am safe.
Jesus was a very wise man; there's a verse here that fits so perfectly for you Keith, "Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full - pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap." Isn't that a lovely visual? Not all can receive Grace with open arms because it means a commitment of trust. You fully embrace it and it's a beautiful thing to witness.

Thank you for sharing. I love your positive outlook and I pray that Rick will continue to find his Grace in this journey.
