It is grace to understand
It is grace to understand the Gospel of John (8) (John 1:14-18)
<The importance of grace>
There is nothing more blessed than grace. God's grace includes 'saving grace' that saves and 'sustaining grace' that sustains life, but there is also 'sanctifying grace' that changes character. That is why it is called ‘3S’ in English. One of the most obvious characteristics when there is special grace of God is 'humility'. So, when you are full of grace, you humble yourself and exalt God.
No one is perfect in this world. Counseling professors also have marital quarrels. Knowing a lot does not broaden your understanding. Understanding and understanding are different. In the end, when you receive grace, your understanding will expand. Many people today struggle with their unchanging personality. The best solution to that trouble is to receive more grace. Without grace, even if one side seems to be going well, side effects will surely come to the other side, but with grace, good results will always be obtained even though the process is difficult.
Also, when grace abounds, you will know true happiness. Without grace, even if there are many conditions for happiness, we cannot feel happiness, but with grace, we feel happiness with at least the conditions for happiness. Grace improves your eyesight to see misery as happiness, and makes you grateful in all things without complaining even in difficult times.
There are a lot of people living in a difficult environment right now. Even people who seem to be living happily have their own troubles and wounds. Think of it and have a view to discover the hidden grace in your life. Happiness is not far away. Life itself is the condition for happiness, and there are many other conditions for happiness. Great grace is not the only grace. How often do you find that God fills the needs of your life in detail?
Sweat has no betrayal. Love calls love. Grace is not great, it is something that goes on in life. When you realize that every moment of your life is a subject of gratitude, God gives you more grace. As such, grace is more abundant when it is realized, but in fact, enlightenment itself is grace.
<It is grace to realize>
The other day, when I was in the sauna, I realized I was richer than Samsung Chairman Lee Kun-hee. I'm not sure how many square meters the bathroom of Chairman Lee Kun-hee's house is, but no matter how big it is, it will not exceed 30 square meters. However, I use the sauna bath over 50 pyeong as if I was mine. In addition, the manager works hard to manage the sauna and adjusts the water temperature of the cold, hot, hot, and event baths every day, keeps the necessary items ready for use at any time, and even manages the water quality and cleans the floor every day.
Even if you are served like that, if you give 4500 won at a time, the managers do not pay any attention to you, even if you do not give a separate salary or tip. In addition, in order to avoid boredom if you are alone in the huge sauna, consideration is given so that several people can use it together.
One day, Chairman Lee Kun-hee wanted to enjoy like a normal person, so he went to a local sauna and said, “Let’s use a sauna with a water massager too!” However, I couldn't take a proper bath because of people's gaze. I tried to enjoy it a little bit, but it felt like I was sitting on a cushion of thorns. After all, after that, I don't want to go to the local sauna anymore. And every day, I have no choice but to bathe alone in a shabby bathroom of less than 30 square meters in my house. Through such a family, I am enjoying life more than Chairman Lee Kun-hee, and I realized once again how great a blessing it is for a person to have a humble commoner consciousness rather than a ‘special aristocratic consciousness’.
What is grace? Understanding is grace. It is also grace to live peacefully with our neighbors. God's grace is still present in every aspect of our lives. Saints are those who receive grace upon grace. Realize that grace, and stop complaining and complaining. If you work hard for the holy dream and vision you have been given and live with the blessings of commoner consciousness and harmony under the given circumstances, that is the life you have been blessed with.
