Grace and compassion
We turn to the Lord for Grace; He looks to us for sincerity.A feeble prayer brings down God’s omnipotent Grace. Such is the magnanimity of God’s Compassion.
To a sincere heart, God’s Grace is swifter than a weaver’s shuttle. To an insincere heart, it is slower than laziness itself.
God may be unkindness to those who think, but He is all-kindness to those who feel.
Although man frequently loses faith in God, God never loses His Patience. For He knows well that His Grace is destined to save mankind from the tentacles of its own misery.
Our tears to God are our greatest strength to bring down His adamantine protection.
If one wants to be illumined by one word from the lips of God, then that word is Compassion.
Although we are accountable to God for all our conscious and unconscious actions, God, being the Father, finds no better way of dealing with us than to accept, with His benign Compassion, our never-ending errors.
We may not see God personally. But if we can realise the relation between His Grace and His Power, it is as good as seeing Him.
We offer our surrendered helplessness to God from below. He showers blessings on us from above.
God’s Grace and God’s Justice have been rivals right from the birth of creation. But it goes without saying that His Justice can never keep pace with His Grace.
In season and out of season we crack venomous jokes, and God simply smiles. But if ever God cracks a joke — and needless to say, He does so with a set purpose and with the most benevolent intention — we immediately shed bitter tears or become violently angry.
If we think of God’s Justice before we think of His Compassion, our hearts will be mistaken. His Justice wants man to be fully exposed, but His Compassion wants to drop a veil over man’s follies and misdeeds.
The universe is not vast enough for God’s Grace to be buried. Hence, it will never disappear.
Our enemy is anger. Anger’s enemy is patience. Patience too has an enemy called ignorance. To be sure, eyeless ignorance also has an enemy, although unbelievable. What is it? God’s Grace.
God’s Compassion is that which comes to all, being fully beyond the touch of human wickedness.
God’s descending Grace and man’s ascending delight are part and parcel of earth’s evolving consciousness.
