ACIM Workbook Lesson #179
Central Theme: "God is but love and therefore so am I."
Review of: #167 "There is one life, and that I share with God." #168 "Your grace is given me. I claim it now."
There are many definitions given in the dictionary for the word grace. It is a noun, a verb, and an adverb, so it covers a lot of ground. The definition which best suits our review today would be this: "Divine love and protection bestowed freely on people." This grace which is ours shows itself in many ways. Perhaps it is seen in our kindness to others, and in theirs to us. Grace us emerging in the synchronicities we see in daily life. Perhaps it is demonstrated in an apology, or an act of benevolence, a charitable deed, or an acceptance of someone's opinion which is opposite of ours. Grace is mine today, simply by acknowledging its presence. To quote William Blake:
“To see the world in a grain of sand,
And heaven in a wild flower,
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.”
Mary Baker Eddy quote:
“Grace and Truth are potent beyond all other means and methods.”
Science & Health with Key to the Scriptures Page 67:23-24
