A beautiful poem written! How relatable and encouraging! A reminder of how powerful the word. It reminds me of what God has given me, His unconditional love that I didn't deserve. Grace shows God's love, compassion and mercy toward all humanity and this is how we should be to others!
This written piece is something everyone should pause for a moment and think about. To renew our minds of how humans should be and to demonstrate itit to others in all aspects of our lives!

It is very inspiring poem and teaches that there is always turning point if only we acknowledge it.

"To do, without trying"
" To be alive, without discontent"
" To be content, but not dead".
These words are what grace means to me. Being at a point where my faith is wavering because of being at my rock bottom, this poem's motivating and soothing context is all I needed.
The writer did a great job in his use of paradoxical words to draw meaning to supernatural course.
This to me is Art.

This poem, while well written, speaks to me of balance and perfection. I believe one can be graceful while trying to achieve these qualities.

To be at war in the material world, without losing inner peace. That's a strong line that caught my attention. We often lose our inner peace just because we want to keep up with the materialistic world

Wow! What a powerfully poignant and personal representation of the complexities of grace as a human condition!

For me, your very specific elucidation of the importance of peace is especially relatable because I often loftily imagine that I am a seasoned diplomat as I try to navigate through the often tumultuous waters of everyday living. How to be simultaneously courageous, kind-hearted, inspirational, selfless, loving, and full of grace while still acknowledging the individual needs of others?


Thank you for sharing this! I look forward to reading more!

Also, how could I forget? Inner peace...as someone who has a Bipolar1 diagnosis, confronting and analyzing how to maintain a sense of equilibrium, balance, can become something that consumes me if I am not careful. What I have learned to do is step back and instead of over analysis, I reflect on my relationship with God.

Thanks again!"

I've often thought I'd like to be without destructive ego. To be myself without worshipping myself.

This is very beautiful
It's it's really what grace means
Cause all these are hardly attainable without grace.
Just like there is a thin line between love and hate so is there a thin line between being contented and being mediocre
