Happy New Year, again
The moment of Grace, smells as sweet as a dozen roses. Feels as strong as 100 armies, soothes as gently as a caress of a mother's arms. When the moment of Grace dawns upon a soul who is struggling or searching for answers, one who is needing comfort or direction, it is as if a great light illuminates within the soul. Peace enters in from the only one that can grant it. Our wonderful God.
Sometimes when Grace hits me, a moment of fear enters with the feeling like I should not be so happy, lest something comes to doubt my mind and make me worry. This is the evil one. Dispel him into the darkness from which he came. He does not want our Peace. He wants us always to be second-guessing our merciful God. Tell him to go away in Jesus's name. And that Grace will return back to you. For it is a blessing. A gift from our God who wants us to have only His gifts, which are lovingly distributed as Peace and freedom from worry. They will again enter in. This world can be stressful enough without our failure to see all of His great gifts. One of them being the gift of Grace.
The moment or moments of Grace can flourish and remain alive as long as we remain in Him.
Oh! Holy Grace, enter in. Sweet gift of the Holy Spirit. Enkindle in all of our hearts the fire of Thy Divine Love. Illuminate our whole being, so that we may walk in the Grace which the Holy Trinity provides with an open Heart. The Heart of God the Father, God the Son and you, oh God, the Holy Spirit.
