~ Flannery O'Connor
The intensity of change presents in our lives through various means.
'Make your peace with it,' my grandmother would often say.
Just when you believe you have every aspect of your life situated to your liking, it happens. Recall the well known serenity, courage, and wisdom mantra penned by Niebuhr?
Change is to be expected and accepting change as part of the journey is key. Still, while learning to cope with this inevitability is imperative, cultivating the grace necessary to move through is achievable.
"Grace is amazing because God has a right to demand anything of us, but instead God offers something to us." ~ Colin Smith
Changes in life occur with the purpose of shifting us into the healthier state of wholeness in mind, body, and spirit.
The challenges hidden in change are calls to become better; to transform in ways that make us assets to humanity and the greater good in the Creator's divine plan.
Resistance stagnates the evolving of our lives from glory to glory and limits our ability to expand our existence in ways born of the Creator's abundant love for each of us.
God wants to bless us and is always preparing us for greater levels of ever increasing joy. Invite change through faith with grace and embrace it as it reveals itself in your life.
Celebrate every opportunity for growth and new beginnings. Start today!
"Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off." ~ Max Lucado
