God's grace is His amazing ability to always get what He wants. His divine style is what really sets Him apart from us. Grace doesn't just give us a highest power, but is actually embodied in His power, which He uses to help us achieve our goals. So grace is what He does that makes us want to be like Him and to realize that He is the source, the means, and the end of achieving anything. When we allow ourselves to be guided by grace, we naturally tend to avoid things that hold no value for us, and instead focus on things that bring us happiness and fulfillment. We inhale deeply, taking in the creative power that surrounds us and making it our own. This power is always happy to receive more childlike distraction than the individual annoyance we feel when we don't get an answer we're sure of. If we all had more natural talent and ability to directly experience the awesome power of God's greatness, we would constantly feel His resurrection power and be filled with confident assurance. Although we can never look directly at God's incomparable brilliance because of His infinite power, we can catch a glimpse of Him indirectly, as if in a dim mirror. Even that glimpse of His majesty is enough to make us feel swallowed up in His overwhelming wonder and admiration. This is where we begin to truly understand the power of His amazing grace. We realize that we can never earn His love or deserve His forgiveness, and yet He offers it to us freely. We can only long for the living God, and try to grasp why we are so completely unworthy of His love. We are designed to have unshakeable confidence in God's grace, which gives us a sense of security and peace. This comes from our sincere desire to honor and glorify Him in everything we do. This is the divine power that sets us apart and gives us extraordinary adventures. Since we are prone to wander off, we must find all that we desire in Him. We crave things that are not as good as God when we stray from Him because we crave things that we can see and touch instead of the intangible God. We instinctively know that we are honoring God when we follow His authority instead of our own. God is the accurate authority of everything and has graced us with the power to praise Him, even though we don't always use that power to its fullest extent Grace not only communicates a beatific vision of His brilliance, but also consciously causes Him to accept our delight courteously. For there is an excellent communication of His boundless love in our gazing on His divine brilliance. We are vicariously living in His eternal love, and we keenly command His acceptance and divine distraction. We both know that His eternal love is what drives us to work hard for Him, just as a slave looks to his master. Grace naturally causes us to be given the opportunity to experience vicarious delight. He shines gloriously in the confidence of Jesus Christ, the everlasting brilliance of God. We eagerly seek His confidence in our overwhelming desire for everlasting greatness, and in doing so, the Father draws near to us in His eternal love. We feel a love that is too great to be expressed in words. We are confronted with an absolute reality. We take pleasure in the social brotherhood of humanity. We instinctively recognize Him when we earnestly assay Him. We have an abandoned assurance that He will heavy voice of the creative power from on High. The abiding gospel of our eternal Father naturally obtains the extraordinary power of God for the eternal deliverance to every one who authentically believes.
