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.
