The BIG Impact Of Giving Grace

If I'm frank, while giving Grace can positively impact you and the other person, it's not always easy.

Before I get into why it's impactful, I thought I'd give a short description of what I've discovered Grace to be.
Disclaimer, while I try and stay away from religious points of view in my messages, I sometimes use spiritual language to guide an explanation.

Here is one perspective when I searched for meaning. In Western Christian theology, Grace is the love and mercy given to us by God because God desires us to have it, not necessarily because of anything we have done to earn it.

So why isn't it easy?
When someone has hurt you intentionally or caused injustice, it's not always easy to flip a switch on our emotions.

It can feel like a punch in the gut, and if triggered, the last thing the ego-mind will want to do is be forgiving, look the other way, be gracious and move on.
It will likely want to fight back with words or actions to get back at the person who wronged you.

So what do you do?
When the emotions clear, get back to center and allow your heart to run the show with processing your feelings. Not your mind!

Self-awareness can shift your perspective, realizing the wrongdoing is not about you. It's about the other person. However, how you react is about you.

If you can observe it for what it is, it will lessen the intensity. Be the observer.

Then if it feels appropriate, move into giving that person Grace. If it's not the right time, come back to it later if you choose to do so.

You can do this either by words, actions or prayer without any interaction.

The act of giving someone Grace never means to give away your power by letting someone walk over you. It's always good to have healthy boundaries and to be firm in situations. We can love from a distance.

How does it make an impact?
I'll speak from experience here.
When I've felt extreme pain from being hurt and wronged by someone but surrendered into the process of giving the other person grace, miracles occurred.

How?
I surrender and don't become attached to an outcome. I give to give, without the expectation to get something in return. Not always easy to do this either.

What can happen?
From personal experience, I often go from feeling an emotional wreck to a great peace that floods my body. A dose of "peace" that powerful is priceless. I call that a miracle.

And if you want to dig even deeper, you can dive into why it triggered you in the first place and heal a part of yourself—another miracle.

The person I'm giving Grace to will usually experience a shift and become reflective to process what caused the initial behavior, leading them to go deeper to heal. Yes, when someone feels that much love from Grace, it can move mountains. Big miracle!

Are these results the norm? No.
Is it possible for anyone to get there? Yes.

The more inner work you do and gain self-awareness, the more you will experience miracles within yourself and your outer world.

If you are on the growth journey and not seeing big results - stay the course.

Growth is a dance, not a light switch. So be gentle with yourself, but never stop dancing!

And always remember how magnificent you are...
