Grace

[Gabe]

Our responsibility in life is what we give to the world in response to whatever experiences are given to us.
When difficulties come, see if you can look at them as challenges that are intended to refine, purify, or strengthen your soul.
With the right attitude, we may find that life's tragedies can actually bring wonderful blessings, because they have the potential to shake
our worlds and create an opening for grace and growth to enter through doors that may have been previously crusted over by complacency, boredom, pride, desires, and expectations.
If we trust that this universe is in the hands of an omnipotent and omnipresent God, then we have to trust it even when things hit the fan.
By practicing living with greater trust, we get better at it, just as with any other skill. We learn to live in the spiritual consciousness and the worldly consciousness simultaneously. And on the spiritual level, everything's fine, everything is destined, and everything is for our good, always.
When tough times hit the fan in your life, don't forget that every adverse event also carries the seed of potential growth to bring us individually and collectively into greater harmony. Learn to find grace in challenges and blessings from tragedy, and spiritual happiness will always be close at hand.
