Finding the Grace of a loving Savior
Though there may be a powerful belief in the Savior of mankind, there is a critical point that we need to reach in the pursuit of His grace. That grace is only a conditional gift bestowed by the Lord after we do everything that we can for ourselves.
This may be a point of contention to some, nevertheless, it is true. Why is our Father in Heaven going to give us anything that is readily available through the talents and gifts He has already bestowed upon us? He has blessed us with the power to reason, overcome and change the things that we can, and seek after that divine intervention when our own talents and skills are what He expects we utilize in the struggle first.
Like the Caterpillar and the chrysalis we each are required to struggle from our cask of metamorphosis to become the butterfly we were born to become.
The parable of the Talents in the New Testament speaks of the power the bestowal of knowledge and truth can have on those who have the courage to multiply their given talents and bring other blessings back to the Talent giver. His grace is only bestowed when we receive the gifts and do what we can to achieve our very best first, otherwise we lack the wisdom to place any value in the bestowal of the Gift of Grace.
Grace in the sense of the Savior’s role is the ability to make up the difference between the change that we have and the full price of the pearl of great price (that pearl we have been asked not to cast before swine). We receive it after we sell all that we have and still don’t have enough to buy that critical pearl.
This is the power of the Atonement. I know He suffered for us in Gethsemane, died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, and ascended to His Father’s presence.
I love Him and His condescension below all things for me. He lives and loves each of us and set up His church to help us increase our talents and achieve the grace that He so desperately desires to bestow on us.
