Grace is the ability given by God to do what we cannot do, and be what we
cannot be with our own limited strengths. We fail to admit most of the time
that as human beings we are limited in our strength and in our capacity. Does
this mean God has forced limitation in mankind in order to force you to worship
him and show his praise? Definitely not!
Why should He, if he is God?
In fact, we need supernatural grace at all times. But sadly, we use God like
the airman having a parachute but wishes that he will never use it. If you
think you can do everything on your own that you have wisdom and the skills,
then you will never receive the supernatural grace. It only comes when you
humble yourself and recognize that you can’t move mountains that rise before
you.
When we act without the
grace of God, we are operating under natural laws, trying to do things by
relying on your own strengths, and consequently doing evil. Looking for God’s
strength is not confined to rites and rituals. It depends on seeking the true
God and asking Him to transform us and lead us.
If we recall our school days
prayers and one of it was “Our father in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy
kingdom come, thy will be done..”. As it continues it has lines seeking for His
help by articulating, “lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from all
evil”. A deliberate seeking of God for divine help to keep us from doing
wrong and helping us to become “human” in true sense. You need God not to
survive but to become a good human being and then build a relationship with
God. May God help you to become a person who will be congenial in his
relationship and stay blessed.
