In our course forward, we are given opportunities for improvement.
As we take our steps, there are often requirements we simply cannot meet.
We do not have the resources, the experience, the know-how.
Sometimes, in desperation, we simply reach out and say “Show me!”
That is when Grace moves in.
The task is accomplished in ways which occur without our knowledge.
Moving forward, we are also moving upward in our ways of dealing with things.
We are in uncharted territory.
Everyone who has come before has had to find a different way, one which suits their talents.
We are required to reach out in ways which go beyond our knowledge and experience.
So as we reach inward and outward for our resources, we are led once again to Grace.
Many layers of Grace will occur as we expand our outreach.
Our desire to improve, to be found fit, to serve our higher nature, will lead us beyond what we know.
It will require Grace each time we are required to move higher.
It will require going beyond what we know.
The spiritual requirements are developed differently than what we have experienced.
We are led to them through patience, kindness, compassion, unselfishness.
These qualities prepare us for higher service.
There is no incremental step-ladder for experience or training in spiritual development.
We work through our higher nature and Grace intervenes and lifts us up.
Then we do the higher work and receive another layer of Grace.
This spiritual process continues throughout our lives and is a calling.
Once we are called, Grace accomplishes the work as, and through, us.
