Grace filled moments


2 Corinthians 12:9
but he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is made perfect in weakness.” So, I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

Sometimes 
we’re trying so hard to get it right
Sometimes
we’re striving for perfection
and fail to notice
grace filled moments along the way
Thankfully
God is persistent
and keeps on confronting us
with the audacity of grace
Until
perhaps in a moment 
of defensiveness
or despair
perhaps in the depths
of anxiety
or frustration
God confronts us 
with our ridiculousness
and, with humour
or tenderness
or maybe even both,
God reminds us
that we are not God
and draws us back
to the awareness
of grace
that invades our days
reconnecting us
to the love in which we are held
and grounding us 
in the one who is the source of all life
the giver of abundant potential
in whom we are invited
to rest 
to be still
and know God.
