Hand sanitized grace

Grace is fully abound in our world.  It is everywhere and fills the entire world.  Yet, many people continually ask where grace is.  When our lives hit the bottom of the ground it feels like there is nothing to stand on for hope.  We like feel that grace completely transforms us whenever we experience it.  It is almost like we pray for God's grace and expect Him to poor down a bottle of hand sanitizer on us!  A lot of people do not read into the descriptions of hand sanitizer as it only cleans 99.9% of germs (unless you ask for the cheap grace).
One main reason this may be is because we feel so weak that we just hope for something to come in an take control of everything.  It's almost like driving for the first time and completely enjoy our freedom to do what we want to.  We can go where we want and do all that we desire.  However, when we experience a difficulty it's like we have no idea what to do.  So, we call our parents, or AAA, and ask them to fix the problem fast.  The faster the solution the better so that we can experience our freedom again.
Our sense of freedom may not be the same freedom that God seeks with us.  Grace is praying "your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven" (Matt. 6:10).  This becomes the very heart of Jesus' ministry to bring grace to a world that has become perverted on freedom.  I am not meaning that freedom is a bad thing.  I believe in freedom of religion and freedom of speech and the like, but our freedom is from authority.  If we do not have our rights, then we want nothing to do with what is happening.
Grace is not based on freedom alone, but a divine and human relationship.  Grace is freedom from sin and despair, but it does not destroy all sin and evil because if God seeks a relationship than He would not force us into relationship, but welcome us home.  We are to seek out the holy God of the universe by seeking to be in relationship with His will to enact that very will on earth.
This kind of grace is not something to be seen.  It is not an emotional high that we are to experience.  Christianity has focused to reach our very minds and hearts by trying to turn on a light switch in our heads for only a moment by saying grace is right in front of you, see it there it is!  But, grace is so much more!  It is about seeing this grace through the lives of others, its about giving our lives to others, and it is about continually giving our lives to God.
A practical tip that I leave you with is to pray every morning and night.  I do not need to tell you what to say because each of us have our own words to say to God that He wishes to hear from us.  But, I encourage you to do one act of kindness for someone everyday for week.  If you want to see grace fully alive, do not seek a thank you, but seek a smiling face from another person.
