Years ago, I understood I did not always accept blessings I requested because they came in ways I didn't expect. It is *still* humbling to discover that saying "thank you" and being polite dismissed a gift that deserved my full attention. Now, when I am humbled by that realization, I receive both the gift AND a lesson. As I enter a new opportunity,
a new season, a new relationship, a new day, may I remember that what I "need" is not always about what I lack. Let me listen beyond words to hear agreement and acknowledge what binds my heart to others. Let me see beyond barriers and learn to greet Truth openly and without fear. Untangle my questions, doubt, and false beliefs until I realize, that all too often, what separates me from Grace is my perception of how it is offered.
