The magic of words is that they have power to do more than convey meaning; not only do they have the power to make things clear, they make things happen.
The place God calls you to is the place where your deep gladness and the world's deep hunger meet.
The grace of God means something like: Here is your life. You might never have been, but you are because the party wouldn't have been complete without you. Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid. I am with you. Nothing can ever separate us. It's for you I created the universe. I love you. . . . There's only one catch. Like any other gift, the gift of grace can be yours only if you'll reach out and take it. Maybe being able to reach out and take it is a gift too.
