Grace is the natural state of every Son of God. When he is not in a state of grace, he is out of his natural environment and does not function well. Everything he does becomes a strain, because he was not created for the environment that he has made. He therefore cannot adapt to it, nor can he adapt it to him. There is no point in trying. A Son of God is happy only when he knows he is with God. That is the only environment in which he will not experience strain, because that is where he belongs. It is also the only environment that is worthy of him, because his own worth is beyond anything he can make. (A Course in Miracles, T-7.XI.2)
When we forget that we are in God and of God, life becomes a struggle. This can be a red flag to us, reminding us that we need to return to our natural state of grace. In the state of grace we follow where Love leads; we do not decide anything on our own. We let ourselves be carried by Love.
We let ourselves become aware of Love’s Presence everywhere… We recognize the majesty of God in every brother… We know that the same Presence is in us… We remember that we walk with God and accept God’s gifts of peace and happiness…
Today our focus is on accepting the state of grace, the state of peace and happiness, that is our natural state.
