Grace is an expression of the love of God, always available, never needing to be earned. As I recognize grace, I feel an exhilaration and a comforting remembrance of the connection I have with God.

When I feel I am lacking the good I need or deserve, I stop for a moment to consider the many ways I have been cared for. I remember precarious situations that have worked out to my benefit. A concern over which I worried was resolved in an unexpected way. An idea or opportunity may have delivered surprising and positive results.

Grace is never far from me, but it can be undetected and unappreciated. I know that grace is mine, and I receive it with gratitude.
