It is crucial to understand that grace is not something we can earn through our actions; no matter what we do or how we respond, it does not compel God to give us more or less of His grace. By its very nature, grace is unconditional and freely given, without any strings attached. If we attempt to measure or quantify grace, it would lose its true essence and instead become a burdensome task—something we try to obtain rather than receive freely. The beauty and truth of grace lie in its ability to bestow value upon us regardless of our circumstances—whether they are positive or negative—highlighting the inherent goodness present in every situation. This reveals the dual aspect of grace. On one side, our natural instinct for self-preservation can be viewed as an expression of grace itself, as it helps us survive and protect ourselves. On the other side, qualities such as justice, forgiveness, and compassion are also gifts of grace, extended to us without condition. Additionally, grace provides us with the capacity to interpret and find meaning in our circumstances because it offers insight into God's reasons for acting in particular moments. It lifts us above being defined solely by external events or our reactions to them, allowing us to see a bigger picture. All we truly need is to remain focused on seeking more of God's grace continually; anything beyond that can diminish the freedom and humility inherent in receiving it and risk turning our faith into a mere effort or work to earn God's favor.
