GRACE

There are so many things in life that we take for granted. Like being able to wake up each morning to see a new day, whether or not its sunny or overcast. Like having the chance to spend time with people that you love, laughing, talking, and just enjoying each others company. Like having a house for shelter and not the clouds as our roof. Like sitting down to a warm meal not worried about whether or not there will be another, confident that there will always be provision. Like having health even though we may struggle through fad diets and reluctantly visit gyms to stay fit we are still physically sound. Like going to school to become something no matter what obstacles we may face. Like being able to dream and watching them become fulfillments. Like falling in love and....falling in love again. All these things we at times take for granted, not realizing that although they may seem trivial, they are actually the most important things in the world if we were to lose them. Hillsong United couldn't have said it better when they sang, "And I find myself here on my knees again. Caught up in grace like an avalanche. Nothing compares to this love, love love. Burning in my heart." I am in awe of the grace and protection that God has allowed to engulf my life. And like the song says, as much as I may try to run away from it,  I always find myself back to square one. Back to falling into complete surrender in his presence. I take all these wonderful things for granted quite often and when I realize this all I can do is bow in reverence.
