God’s grace is given to everyone, irrespective of cast, color, or creed. Jesus tells us, “God makes his sun to rise on the wicked and the good, and sends rain upon the just and the unjust.” However, in order for the full and unbounded force of grace to manifest in our lives, we must use our free will to cooperate with it. For sure, without the grace of the Divine nothing can be done, but for God’s full and unbridled grace to manifest we must make ourselves ready. Grace often operates in mysterious ways that baffle our human minds, so our readiness to receive it requires that we empty ourselves by letting go of our agendas, our road maps, and our egoic misunderstanding in meditation.Our faith-filled emptiness allows God’s grace to flow into our lives unobstructed by our prejudices. Paradoxically, emptiness is fullness.

Emptiness is fullness.
