“Nothing is void of God; He Himself fills His work.”

SENECA

We sometimes refer to the grace of God (often in verbal shorthand: “There but for the grace …”) when we compare our circumstances with those of others who seem less fortunate. Yet we can tell very little about the reality of God’s grace in other people’s lives simply by looking at the most obvious aspects of their circumstances—that is, their “outsides.”

In truth, God’s grace is available to all of His beloved children, not just a “chosen few.” We are all equal in His sight; no one among us is more special or deserving than any other. For each and every one of us, God’s grace is limitless and ever-present, always available to bring healing power and renewing love.

We often say that God works in mysterious ways. What that means is that His grace can enter and shape our lives in ways that are beyond our comprehension. Isn’t it true that many occurrences, which are at first seemingly “bad,” often evolve into blessings?

By accepting the grace of God into our lives we can let go of uncertainty and fear. We can accept the good in all situations. We can allow ourselves to be guided toward successful solutions and inner prosperity.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

I am beloved in His sight.
