Grace

Knowing:

We, as Souls, intuitively understand grace and its redemptive role. We know there is a supportive and nurturing spiritual energy flowing through all creation and we can learn to participate with it. Grace is not the unknowable, untenable, etheric energy of an omnipresent, omnipotent being higher than us, capriciously deciding who to help and who not to help.

Grace is the ever-present, infallible divine intelligence, in action within us, and it is always available to us. The ever-flowing action of grace is to lead us home to permanent awakening. Its presence is potently experienced when we surrender to the Infinite in whatever form we perceive it. Grace is witnessed in the compassion of others: by the hand reaching out to help us when we stumble and fall, by the arms embracing us when we suffer, by the tears of another, shed for us when we are in pain.

Surrender

It is in the moments of need and surrender, when our consciousness expands beyond its previous conceptual boundaries, that we are given the beautiful gift of God’s grace. In these moments, we become aware we can either choose to step into the current of Spirit leading us home or turn and walk the other way.

Surrendering to grace is not giving up and letting go of Self-determination. It is an honoring of the Divinity within and a profound listening to the quiet voice echoing throughout our being, flawlessly pointing and guiding the way home.

If we want to experience grace, we need only open ourselves to its guidance and actions. We need only to be Spirit Led.
