It is due to the gift of His Divine Grace that we survive in this world. Every drop of blood coursing through our veins is but a drop from the shower of His Grace. Every muscle is but a lump of His Love. Every bone and cartilage is but a piece of His mercy. It is clear that without Him we are but bags of skin. But, unable to understand this secret, we strut about, boasting “I achieved this,” and “I accomplished this.”
Berkat karunia-Nya kita bisa hidup di dunia ini. Setiap tetes darah yang mengalir melalui pembuluh darah kita hanyalah setetes dari percikan rahmat-Nya. Setiap otot hanyalah segumpal Kasih-Nya. Setiap tulang dan tulang rawan hanyalah bagian dari rahmat-Nya. Jelas bahwa tanpa Beliau kita ada tetapi hanya berupa kantong kulit saja. Tetapi, kita tidak mampu memahami rahasia ini, dan menyatakan dengan kesombongan "aku mencapai hal ini," dan "aku berhasil melakukan ini."
