“If anything disturbs your peace, practice having faith that divine grace is already actively at work restoring wholeness and well-being.

Then make any necessary adjustments in harmony with that insight.”

The Gift Of Divine Grace

Paula Whang-Ramos

"Divine grace is continually raining down in our lives. We put out a little bucket and when it doesn’t catch much rain,
we think something is wrong. Nothing is wrong. Get rid of the bucket. Step outside of limited thinking
and stand in the downpour of divine grace and possibility."
~Yogacharya Ellen Grace O'Brian, Living For The Sake Of The Soul, p. 140

How do we recognize and open to the ever-present grace that fills our lives? We slow down and look for it within and around us right now. Grace is present in every moment and circumstance in our lives. It is present in the situations that we like, and in those that scare us. Grace is present in relationships that meet our needs, and in those that seem out of control. It is present in those moments we expect, and in those we did not see coming at all. Divine grace is present even when we deny its presence.

Grace is divine Wholeness freely expressing in our lives, supporting us always. It is a gift that we can unwrap at any moment when we choose to open into its expansive presence. Consciously living in divine grace, we learn to listen, follow, and flow in a deeper, more wisdom-guided, more loving, more peace-filled way of being. Grace continually blesses our lives as a steady stream of divine possibilities, deep healing, and inner peace, moment by holy moment. All we need to do is cooperate with it and step into its flow.
