“When I watched the limping mouse refuse the lever, I was reminded yet again of what it means to be reborn, made new, saved, which is just another way of saying of needing those outstretched hands of your fellows and the grace of God. That saving grace, amazing grace , is a hand and a touch, a fiber- optic implant and a lever and a refusal, and how sweet, how sweet it is.”

It is the grace of God that frees a soul from selfishness and empowers not just generosity, but sacrifice. And such sacrifice God will not overlook. In faith our giving to meet others’ needs becomes an occasion for more divine grace to flood our souls.

When you GIVE under “compulsion” or “Grudgingly” you are giving under the LAW of giving and NOT the GRACE given for giving. God loves a cheerful (thankful) giver, which is giving under GRACE. 2 Cor 9:7

“Grace is the breath of God—an invisible essence beyond intellect that moves swiftly amongst us. It is not only possible to become a living conduit of this powerful force, grace is immediately accessible to us along with the courage to follow divine guidance.”

“One must know not just how to accept a gift, but with what grace to share it.”

“The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods.”

“I've achieved basically all of the goals - by the grace of God - that I wanted to in music,”

“Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.”

“Everything I've accomplished I've accomplished through the grace of God and pure stubbornness”

“Grace is an incredible front woman. She's multitalented. A beautiful face never hurts.”
