“The Will of God will not take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.”
I used that quote in my first book, 30 Life Changing Laws. The funny thing though, is that back then, I never really understood God’s WILL or GRACE.
But I had a vague idea, and just reading that quote brings about some sort of peace and reassurance, doesn’t it?
The song “Amazing Grace” brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. It touch’s a part of my soul deep down inside, and I am able to connect.
Those tears are a sign of the Ego collapsing and my heart filling with love and gratitude.
Today, after many years, I have a real understanding of what grace is. It isn’t a complicated answer. I have found an amazing Guru (Teacher, Mentor, Spiritual Master) who is guiding me. His name is Mohanji ( Para Brahma ). He explains grace as an umbrella. What does the umbrella do? It stops you from getting drenched by the rain. Yes you may get wet by a few drops, but it will keep you from becoming drenched. It does not however stop the rain. So with God’s grace – you will still go through the storm, but you will come out the other end – you make it! You arrive. You may have to endure the pain, but the suffering is something you will not have to.
It reminds me of another quote, “God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage”
I know I am speaking of God alot here, and I do not want to sound like I am preaching. For me God is Love, God is consciousness, God is the infinite mind, God is everything. God is no more outside me, than within me.
May you be blessed, and receive the grace you seek.
I love you always…
Love,
