The idea of being an instrument of Grace came to me a few years ago. It means being so generous in spirit that one’s mere presence inspires another and opens up the space for miracles.
It means being an angel and a blessing-bearer for others.
It means being a vessel for the light of love, forgiveness and Divine Presence to flow through.
What greater purpose can there be than this? What greater destiny and calling?
This is where the greatest happiness lies, because in lifting up another we also receive. In fact, in the presence of Grace, the line between giving and receiving disappears altogether.
I love that feeling when the heart swells with joy. It is so full of love that it’s on the verge of bursting. This is the home of happiness. Knocking on this door of Grace, brings it forth in copious abundance. It showers blessings on everyone in its vicinity. In that moment of miracles, we remember we are Divine, we are connected with everything that is, and we are most at home when we feel unconditional love.
Happiness and joy are our most authentic and natural states of being. They stay hidden or buried because of all the busy-ness and distractions that pulls us here and there. Eventually, it becomes easy to lose sight of what is true and real and natural.
We knew these things as children, but they were programmed out of us and devalued through having to spend our years of wonder and joy in a lifeless classroom cut off from ourselves and each other. Competition, achievement and intellectual knowledge took precedence over intuition, curiosity, exploration, creativity and community. We were trained to suppress or deny these natural longings.
Is it any wonder that so many adults are depressed and lonely and cut off from these natural states of joy and happiness?
There’s no greater task than to see others as they are: beings of love. It is the ultimate responsibility for each of us to remember this Truth, to align with it and to help others remember.
What matters now is to awaken to our real selves, our unity and the love that sustains creation. We must come out of the darkness into the sunlight and reject the values that reinforce our separation and division, and embrace those values that connect us.
So many practices can get us there: generosity, kindness, forgiveness, surrender, trust, inclusion, affirmations, gratitude, focusing on innocence, humility and so on. The quickest of those is forgiveness, not in the traditional sense of forgiving an error or mistake, but in the highest sense of seeing the Christ consciousness in others. Miracles come from this place because there is nothing to stop them. All blessings arise from feelings of joy, happiness and love. This cannot be helped because it is the most natural thing in the world.
Sacrifice and suffering and struggling exist because people believe that these experiences are associated with giving, and that giving means giving up something, doing without or loss. This is not at all the case. Giving without conditions or stinginess opens the flow of blessings for both giver and receiver.
It makes perfect sense, but we live in an insane world in which we’ve been taught that we must compromise and sacrifice in order to give to another, or at the very least we must ask for compensation or something in return. When we give expecting to receive, this is a negotiation with life, a transaction that clearly indicates a lack of trust in the flow and innate generosity of life.
A miracle may open the heart and lead to greater faith or it may be written off as a fluke or accident or one-time occurrence. However, if the miracle is large enough, it will not be forgotten. Ideally, it will become a seed that blooms in the heart of those that witness it.
Being an instrument of Grace and a catalyst for miracles means one can touch people’s lives in a big way. It’s a huge responsibility that should never be abused or used to build up the ego. Staying aware of that possibility, can keep one on track and in the Divine Flow.
Let’s look more closely at grace.
Grace comes in when we let go of the reigns in recognition that we’ve run out of ideas about how to resolve an issue in our lives.
Grace arrives after surrender. It shows up in the form of miracles, blessings and synchronicities. It is Divine Intervention.
Grace shows us that we are not alone, that our calls for help are heard.
Grace speaks to us with unexpected solutions to seemingly impossible situations.
Grace lifts us out of fear and hopelessness, replacing it with love and a new perception in which all is well.
Grace is beyond time, language and duality. It becomes the answer to problems that were created in time.
Grace blesses us when we cannot fathom how we can move forward.
Grace replaces fear with love; it opens the door to the heart.
Grace is a place of awe and wonder.
Grace comes in to light the way and affirm that we’re on the right track.
Being an instrument of Grace makes all things new, and its medicine can heal this weary world.
