Grace is a beautiful gift that we sometimes struggle to receive.
Grace invites us to embrace a way of living that is counterintuitive to our ingrained habits and beliefs. This invitation is captured wonderfully in the words of Jesus in Matthew 11, “Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.”
The word “unforced” is important here. In a society that glorifies hustle and grind, the concept of unforced grace can seem almost revolutionary. We are conditioned to believe that everything worth having must be earned through struggle and striving. Yet, grace operates on a different frequency. It doesn’t respond to our attempts to capture or control it.
Accepting grace requires us to relinquish our need for control and our insistence on self-sufficiency. It asks us to soften our grip on life and allow ourselves to be vulnerable.
Grace, like Summer, is best experienced when we are open and receptive. It thrives in the spaces where we let go of our agendas and expectations. It is in these moments of surrender that we truly encounter it’s transformative power.
