Grace

- Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
So, what is Grace? We say “grace” before meals but what exactly is grace? Grace is God’s goodness in our lives that we have not earned. Grace is God blessing us even though we have not merited those blessings.
I don’t know about anyone else but I can think of a hundred different ways that I’ve failed to earn God’s blessings. I know that I don’t deserve the many blessings in my life, yet God continues to send all kinds of good stuff my way. That’s God’s Grace.
Accepting the unacceptable seems foolish on the surface. Why would anyone accept what is not good? Well, perhaps the acceptance is an act of faith. Right now I must walk away from the worrying and fretting and simply accept that this is how it is. I cannot change this situation; worrying about it, placing blame for it, “thinking it through” over and over won’t change it. I have to just accept what is and hand it to God.
And so I will.
