DIG - Living In The Flow Of Grace

Atlantic Ocean - Nova Scotia

It's been a while!  I started this post March 31st and didn't post it.  Quite a lot has been happening, and so, like the caterpillar, I withdrew to focus on my personal growth and development and truly experience living in the flow of Grace.  With all the new developments this topic has taken on a whole new meaning - there will be much to share soon, and definitely this will not be the last post on this great subject.

What is the flow?  I have been seeing this word circling around quite frequently these days, but it's not unfamiliar.  I remember back in the 1970's and 1980's in my Jamaican circles "going with the flow" and "flowing with life" were quite popular. Going with the flow is another way of saying "I am taking life easy", "I am not stressing about life", then everybody seems to have forgotten about flowing and started stressing.  For a while there seemed to be a competition about who is more stressed out.  Heck, there was even a book "The Joy of Stress", came across a copy lately.

Now, after a few decades of people being over stressed and the percentage of the population, including children, suffering from all sorts of stress related sicknesses and disorders soaring to record highs people are having a reckoning.   The word "flow" has taken on a new life.  What I'm liking is that the meaning and context in which my Jamaicans used flow turns out to be quite nicely aligned with both scriptures and scientific research findings, only perhaps most of us who used it were not aware of the deeper meaning, it was just cool to say it.  From a scriptural perspective, living in the flow of Grace means that you have the Holy Spirit, you have surrendered fully to Christ and truly trust and depend on him to guide, direct and provide for you.

I have been inching in this direction for quite a few years and so when I find my life working and and solutions to problems and challenges finding me, I do not have to search form them, you can just imagine how blissful that is to me.  I put in the work though, it didn't just happen like that. Once "flow" starts working for you, you will only wish it happened sooner.

It's never too late to claim this precious gift that has been made available through Jesus Christ to all who believe.

Thanks so much for your support and prayers during my absence.

Flow in Grace & Love,
