What Grace Means to Me

[Daniel Gitonga 1]

To set boundaries without crossing boundaries...cryptic.
Reminds me about Desiderata though. Good poem.

[RUTH OTHNIEL]

I love it. I can clearly hear your thoughts and discern your purpose from your choice of words. Well done!

[Jasmine Wilkerson]

I speak about wrestling with the flesh and the holy spirit and this is about the perfect balance I have prayed for in my life. What an amazing well thought out but naturally flowing piece.

[Kaone Dikaelo]

It's really good

[Elvis Okoth 2]

Good indeed

[David Clifford]

I like it,Very thoughtful and a really nice lesson to learn from, very nice well done !!

[Zainab Waqar]

It's very relatable poem but it gets a little bit boring at the middle it is a poem which you want to read more as you can relate to it

[Bethyll De La Cura]

Such a beautiful poem, it talks about balancing experiences in life.

[Kathryn Richard]

Beautifully written, thank you and very motivating!

[Alexander Dzvukamanja]

The context is so life changing. Me i love the expressions expressed and the simplicity of it to understand

[bryan kasibante]

I like it. A good and thoughtful piece.

[Nombulelo1]

It is amazing how one can relate to this masterpiece ...u have explained the aspect of life in such a beautiful way...it is truly great

[Mitzie Bajo]

The poem makes me reflect of my current life now. Am I living the right way? Am I at fault why I am who I am right now. Am I contented? Am I motivated? Anyway I am not really into poems but this poem is readable , simple and easy to reflect and realize on it. This would serve as an inspiration.

This summarizes of what grace really means. We share the same belief about it. It feels so good to have read such. Kudos.

What Grace Means to Me
by Scott Hughes


To be extremely confident, but not at all arrogant.

To be brave, but not fearless.

To be stoically tough, but not painless.

To be inspired, but not restless.

To have calm endurance without laziness.

To be motivated, but not greedy.

To have fun in this life, without addiction, attachment, or desperate clinginess.

To love and appreciate, without jealousy, cowardly possessiveness, or controlling anger.

To be alive, but not discontent.

To be content, but not dead.

To live as a mortal human, without becoming only human.

To treat your flesh as your temple, but not your true self.

To be at war in the material world, without losing inner peace.

To be kind, but not dishonest.

To love and forgive unconditionally, but only trust intelligently.

To be assertive, but not aggressive.

To forcefully defend your own as needed, but not offensively attack others.

To set boundaries without crossing boundaries.

To be rebellious and free, but not a tyrant.

To pick your battles stingily, but fight the battles you pick with incredible stubborn determination.

To rarely choose to do, but to do your best when you do.

To be stubbornly decisive and self-determined, but accepting of that which you cannot control.

To do your best with the metaphorical cards you’re dealt, without trying to change the cards at all.

To do, without trying.

To achieve ultimate inner peace without having to first suffer ultimate outward devastation.

To choose to make where you are now your personal rock bottom before hitting actual rock bottom.

To choose to turn your life around before it is too late and there is no life left to turn around.

Grace is a gift undeserved, like salvation that was brought by Jesus Christ!!!
