Grace

I gratefully accept every blessing of God's grace.

Knowing that the grace of God supports me at all times, I am alert to life-enriching opportunities. I not only recognize good, I draw it to me. Encouraged to accept all that blesses me and to bless others, I do not set limits on my capabilities. I have the courage to do what may have seemed impossible in the past.

As I act and speak from the inspiration of Spirit, I do my very best. Accepting the grace of God, I convey a confidence in my relationships with others. I am caring and compassionate, and I gratefully acknowledge these same qualities in others. Through prayer, I am immersed in spiritual understanding and open to divine ideas.

God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that ... you may share abundantly in every good work.--2 Corinthians 9:8

"There are no little events in life, those we think of no consequence may be full of fate, and it is at our own risk if we neglect the acquaintances and opportunities that seem to be casually offered, and of small importance."

~Amelia E. Barr

 Today's Affirmation

My mind and heart are open and receptive.

Today's Meditation

Dear God,

It is easy to see how or where I missed an opportunity.

A job that was offered and declined or a casual remark that was not recognized for the possibility it contained.

Perhaps I overlooked a detail or failed to follow up on something I thought was insignificant that turned out to be pivotal.

Often, I held so tightly to my image of how things "should" be that I missed the wonder that was in front of me.

If I focus at what I think might have been; I sacrifice here and now.

So, I release the past and whatever thoughts I hold of missing anything.

I am in the perfect place at the absolutely perfect time for me.

I have learned to learn.

I have learned to be open and receptive.

I have learned to be watchful; knowing that the flow of divine ideas never stops.

I have come to believe that You are not finished with me yet.

I feel Your presence pouring into and through me as I open myself completely and surrender.

In the sweet communion of silence, I spread my heart and mind like a canvas and wait to see what picture emerges from Your brush strokes.

I am aware of the masterpiece that You are creating in me now.

Thank You God.

Amen
