010 - When Does Grace not look like Grace

In today’s episode of Grace Among Us, we discuss how grace happens in the present but sometimes it isn't very recognizable, as grace, at the moment it shows up.  We dive into the process of waiting, when grace isn't obvious.  

What do we do when grace shows up as a closed door or disappointment?

Here’s a glance at the episode

1. Today’s grace is sufficient for today’s worries.
2. Even in the absence of “obvious” grace, it’s here on a daily basis. 
3. Grace might look like tragedy or loss at the time, but it always moves us to where we should be.  
4. Each closed door is an opportunity for more growth and preparation. 
5. Be encouraged by past situations that ended up working in your favor. 
6. Trust the process; there is not a timer. Be still and know.
7. Metaphoric comparison to baking a cake with lots of steps and ingredients.
8. Confidence in God’s timing should be better than our confidence in an alarm clock.
9. It takes practice to be grateful in the face of disappointment. 
10. We can be grateful for the collateral healing that occurs in our minds and hearts while waiting for physical healing.
