Love and Grace

Love opens our hearts.  It brings us opportunities for grace to enter our lives.  We never know how an opportunity for change will come along.  Love flowing to us keeps us open to those opportunities, and they may come from very unexpected places.  Love invites us to be touched by grace, and we are then able to respond to opportunities in welcoming, rather than resisting, ways.  We are able to be guided by Divine Love that is greater than ourselves.  Doors open.  We are free to move through them.  Love shows us the way.
"Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude.  Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right.  Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things...  Make love your aim..."           --St. Paul
