The Flow of Grace

February 8, 2009

Dear Friends,

In Chapter 2 of my book, I describe the sensation of being in the flow as “gliding gracefully through life.” Obviously, by “gracefully” I mean moving ahead with an economy of effort—with ease, efficiency, and effectiveness.

It is interesting to note, however, that “gracefully” is simply an abbreviated way of saying “full of grace.” And when the word “grace” stands on its own, a deeper meaning can be inferred.

In addition to “refined movement”—as my dictionary defines the word “grace”—it can also mean “the free and unmerited favor and blessings of The Divine . . . of God.” In that context, “gliding gracefully through life” means living life fully immersed in the constant flow of divine blessings.

Although grace is not a word that I commonly use, it is certainly what I am talking about whenever I say that the divine flow is continually guiding you toward the effortless fulfillment of your heart’s desires. It is through the blessings of divinely inspired ideas, divinely orchestrated opportunities, and divinely directed encounters that you move towards your chosen destinations with incredible ease.

And (as I mention on the Dedication Page of my book) this flow of divine goodness—this “grace” that we receive—is “unending.” It is not something that occurs randomly or occasionally. It is constant. It is not something that must be earned or merited. It is yours by divine right. And it is not something that is doled out to some, but not to others.

At every given moment of every given day, we are all receiving celestial assistance and support. At every given moment of every given day, each and every one of us is being divinely guided . . . and that includes you. But, as I frequently mention, you have a part to play in that process, because it is up to you to recognize and cooperate with that divine guidance.

It is your job to identify that still, small voice that speaks to you from within, and rely on it. It is your job to identify the helpful people that have been placed in your path, and accept their assistance. It is your job to identify the divine signs that are all around you, to discern their meaning, and to take any action that may be called for.

Said another way, it is your job to make sure that you are always fully open and fully receptive to the unending flow of divine grace in your life, so you can glide gracefully down life’s stream toward the realization of your dreams.

Here’s to living your life in the unending flow of divine blessings, my friends. Go with grace!
