Grace is a topic that is not often discussed and not understood well. I was one of the individuals that that did not understand the topic grace very well and did not realize it. Stephen gave a talk one evening about grace that opened my eyes and defined what grace is. Grace is a never ending gift given to us, humans, by God. One thing that struck me was that even if we do not know or want to receive God’s gift of grace we are constantly receiving it.

This fact truly affected me because I was able to apply it to my own life. Even at the lowest points in my life I was still being constantly affected by God’s wonderful grace. Every time I make a mistake by becoming angry or judging someone incorrectly and I received God’s grace because the individual that was harmed by me eventually forgave me. This proves that God is all loving and merciful because even at our worst he still loves us unconditionally and showers us with gifts.
