Receiving the Gift of Grace

The crux of living well is to remain in gratitude. It’s easy to acknowledge and thank God when things are falling in place, when events happen as designed, but to thank God amidst difficulties is not easy, and more so for situations in which He has put you in requires exemplary courage and conviction. It requires humility and faith in the Almighty. The essence of gratitude is to believe that however difficult may the scenarios sound or look, you will stay fine. There is someone who will take care of you. He has put you through a sticky situation in life with a reason and a purpose. 

The reason why difficult people or circumstances choose us is with a purpose.  The soul has a learning. For this to achieve, the soul decides the chart of life on which it will go and the people who will come in it to help it learn the lessons in the lifetime. The difficult people or circumstances who come in our life are pre-decided. They are teachers who have entered the life to enable us learn the lessons desired by our soul.

All good flow to people who are grateful. Grateful for things they have and even grateful for things they wish for even before they receive it. This concept has taken me long to understand. How can I say thank you for something that I have not received? 

Then, one day, things became clear to me. It's like having faith akin to a baby who each time when thrown up in the sky laughs aloud, because he believes that two strong arms are going to hold him. And those arms never fail.

Asking without being grateful for the gifts you have received so far is being brash. It's like the world owes you a living. Honestly, it doesn't. Grace is what keeps the heart humble and gives energy to the soul. Soul's desire is to merge with the light, the divinity. Each time it reincarnates, it aspires to be whole. Complete. What will help it in achieving it's objective? Being grateful. If the only prayer we can do in life is to remain grateful for everything we have, abundance will flow. All masters are eager to give more to a servant who is thankful for all what he has received. Not to those who keep asking. Similar to this scenario, being grateful opens up the doors of of abundance.

Take a moment and think of things you are grateful about. For me those things are:

A wonderful home, amazing kids, loving husband, affectionate parents, and relatives, a great job, good set of staff, cars, awesome friends, loyal dog, balcony full of plants. In nutshell a good and comfortable life. Thank you God.
