What It Means to Receive God’s Grace



Grace isn’t something you chase. It’s something you notice when your spirit is still enough to receive. It doesn’t shout. It doesn’t demand. It meets you in your rawest, most unworthy place and whispers, you are still mine.


To receive God’s grace is to witness love that defies logic. It’s when your hands are empty but your heart is full. It’s when the world turns its back but you feel wrapped in something eternal. You don’t earn grace. You remember it. You return to it. You surrender to it.


Grace is divine favor that flows when you’re not performing. It’s mercy when you’re tired of pretending. It’s a hand stretched out in the dark. It’s the answer to prayers you didn’t know how to pray. It’s when God covers you while you’re breaking not to hide your pain but to heal you inside it.


To receive grace is to know that you are not loved for your strength or your perfection but simply because you are because God is love and love cannot help but pour


It shows up in the most ordinary ways


The strength to forgive when the wound is still fresh


The patience to stay soft in a hard world


The clarity to trust divine timing when everything feels delayed


The courage to walk away from what harms your soul and into what heals it


Grace reminds you that you are not your past you are not your mistakes you are not what you’ve lost you are what God continues to redeem and even in the places you feel forgotten heaven still knows your name


Let this be your quiet revolution


Rest in what you didn’t earn


Receive what only love could give


Let the light in without shame


And when grace calls not with thunder but with stillness let it undo the fear the guilt the striving


You are already held


You are already worthy


This is grace


I hope you are open enough when grace find you.


Love,

Duality vs Oneness

In many mystical traditions, God is seen as the One Source of all that exists. From this perspective, nothing stands outside the Divine, not even the shadows we fear. Both light and dark, joy and pain, are contained within the infinite mystery of God. Yet in faith traditions like Christianity and Islam, the devil is understood differently, not as God, but as a creation of God. The devil becomes the symbol of separation , the willful turning away from unity, love, and truth.  Where God is perfection and pure goodness, evil arises not from the Source but from distorted will, pride, and rebellion against divine alignment. Beyond the Image of Horns and Fire, The devil is not a creature with horns, a fiery tail, and glowing yellow eyes. It is not merely an external monster lurking in shadows. Instead, it represents the energy of separation, the distortion of truth, the rejection of compassion , the misuse of divine gifts . The devil is rebellion against unity, whether it shows up in i...

Divine is Beyond Labels

Theres so much beauty in the universe. I honor the presence of God in everyone.   The diversity of this world doesn’t confuse me, it makes me fall deeper in love with God and with humanity. Our differences are not barriers. They are beautiful.   They are the artistry of a Divine Creator. The essence of God is not confined to one name, one tribe, one religion.   Race, nationality, belief systems, these are human constructs, not divine limitations. God is Spirit. Boundless. Pure.   Far beyond every box we try to fit the Divine into. We are born open, whole, deeply connected.   It’s fear, ego, and conditioning that teach us to separate and compare. To believe one soul is superior to another based on tribe or religion is not only untrue, it’s a distortion of truth.   A distortion of the Divine. If God wanted one tribe, one race, one religion…   Wouldn’t that have been easy? But diversity is the design.   Each of us, different yet divine.   Every ...

Versions

In a moment of profound self-reflection, honouring the different versions of myself that have shaped who I am today. Every choice I’ve made,  every decision that felt uncertain at the time, has contributed to the wisdom I carry now. I’ve journeyed through many phases of growth, each one adding depth and understanding to my identity.  In some ways, I’ve been many people in one lifetime and that’s something I'm proud of. Each version of me, whether it was a version of hope, doubt, strength, or transformation, has served a purpose. And now, looking back, I can see how each part of my story was necessary for the person I am becoming. I honour that and in doing so, I honor my capacity to evolve. It’s a reminder that I’m never stuck just always in the process of becoming, continuously shedding layers and uncovering new possibilities.  I stand as a testament to my own resilience and growth, fully embracing both my past and my future. While reflecting with gratitude ...
