this is to remind you that you are a child of grace too!

Posted on March 16, 2020 by Shola Okubote

It is so easy for us to look at people celebrating their big wins on social media with the hashtag #childofgrace and think grace is only for some special people.

No, it is not; if you are here living and breathing, grace is available for you too.

Do you remember someone who rose to help you without asking for anything? That was grace.

Do you remember when you escaped what could have been a fatal injury? That was grace.

Do you remember the pain in your body that suddenly disappeared? That was grace.

Do you remember when you got that opportunity, even when you had given up? That was grace.

Do you remember when you got a piece of information that changed your life for the better? That was grace.

Do you remember how you were protected from the bad consequences of a wrong choice? That was grace.

Do you remember when your needs were met in ways you did not see coming? That was grace.

Do you remember that thing you thought would destroy you, but it made you stronger? That was grace.

You know that good thing you are so gifted at doing better than others? That is grace.

Do you remember that song and the message you stumbled on? The ones that helped you hold on to faith during a hard time? That was grace.

Even going out and returning home to lay your head down at the end of this day is grace!

So, wake up daily in the consciousness of and gratitude for the grace available to you.

Let go of doubts, let go of fear, let go of comparisons, open up your heart and embrace God’s ever-present grace.

Be courageous to live, dream and pursue opportunities.

Ask, seek and knock, knowing that there is a power higher than you are, able to watch out for you, make way for you and send help your way.

    Very inspiring. A lot of people need to hear this and cultivate the attitude of gratitude for the grace around them which they don’t even know about, or consider as grave. Well done, sis.
