God's grace—His love for all of us
THOUSANDS, perhaps millions, of people know and love that beautiful song "Amazing Grace." It comforts us and gives us hope that maybe we, too, will feel the amazing grace of God coming to rescue us in time of need.
Most dictionaries define grace something like this: "divine favor unmerited by man." That may lead us to believe that God plays favorites and that some people—even people we consider undeserving—are going to receive His favors, and the rest of us are not! This isn't actually true, but to prove that God's grace is there for everyone, we need a better understanding of Him. Anyone can be the recipient of God's tender, loving care when he or she begins to glimpse God's omnipresence and omnipotence.
The Science of Christ brings to us the understanding that God is divine Principle, ever-present Love that fills all space. Love is everywhere because divine Principle is incorporeal—meaning not confined to physical people or places or things. Nor is God favoring some people more than others because He particularly likes them or chances to hear their prayers. God's goodness and love are too great to be happenstance. God's love is infinite. It embraces His entire creation—including you and me as His beloved offspring.
