Translating a World on the Edge

There are times in our lives when we stop and look around. Times when realization sets in. Times when we might say, “I’m not who I wanted to be.”

This realization may be based on past beliefs we’ve let go of, and miss. Or it may come from a sudden encounter with danger, or a bout with debilitating disease.

It may come from the unselfish love of another toward us when we have been selfish toward him/her. Or it may come from someone we’ve always admired, and want to emulate, someone who’s run the race of life courageously.

Or it may come when everything we’ve known seems to crash around us.

Surprisingly, these are the points in our lives when we are literally bathed in the grace of God. These are times when we reach out of our physical selves and into the  spiritual component that we were created with. This is when God’s grace is above, behind, and all around us.

Do we stop and take notice of that?

Because if we do, if we let go of ourselves and turn to Him, our lives will be transformed.
