Shameful, hurtful, soothing, annoying, uncomfortable, pleasant, romantic, loving, violent, old, recent. They’ve existed and remain somewhere within us. Memories have haunted, enlightened, irritated, calmed, frightened, warmed us at some point.
Very often we’d rather acknowledge the ones that suit our fancies, make us feel good while hoping, wishing that, or wondering how we could obliterate the ones that did not sit well within our spirits or were just too grating to keep. In our quest to either dispel or embrace, we are making a Choice.
Our Choices should hopefully ensure that our best interests are served and that a sense of rest and peace settles within us. It does not always work out that way, since a large number or us may either not be equipped with, or refuse to find the best resolution. On many occasions, some of us prefer to hug, cuddle and nurse memories that should have best been cast into the heap of “burn & destroy.” In other instances we discard fond memories or even fail to learn the lessons they have taught us.
Choices are not always easy to make and sometimes there is a measure of discomfort that comes along with so doing, a tearing up of non-usable, yet “comfy” activities or even a sense of self-condemnation, fear or defeat.
Whatever the memory though, whatever the choice, we must know that Grace exists and is available. Divine Grace is there for redemption. It rises above, it goes beyond and delves deep beneath to allow us the move ahead. We need only take advantage of it honestly, unabashedly and unapologetically! As we come as we are unto Grace’s Throne we can, in the end move forward, gracefully, boldly, confidently and purposefully!
Sometimes some memories will linger and threaten our sense of purpose. We shouldn’t be undaunted. We should, we can, we must remember and know that Grace remains. It is Always Available and Accessible!
Whatever the memory, whatever the choice, Grace! The Garden Vibes embraces Grace. So should you.
