Grace is pure gift, and because of this our most meaningful encounters with it will
probably come at unintended times, when we are caught off guard, when our
manipulative systems are at rest or otherwise occupied.
The facts of grace are simple: grace always exists, it is always available, it is always
good, it is always victorious. But although grace is always there, it doesn’t simply
happen. It is a gift we must prepare ourselves to receive, by living life in accord with
the facts of grace, even when we do not sense them directly.

Every single creature is full of God and is a

book about God.
