A drop of water on a hot plate takes little time to disappear. It makes some noise and it evaporates.Gratitude in our life seems to disappear even faster. We seem to forget how much we have grown, how much we have received. The mind seeks more and more. And in every wanting of more and more, it forgets the past very easily.So gratitude arises in everybody, but disappears very soon. Today we cannot say that no one is grateful. Everyone is grateful, but for the moment and then it is finished.
Grace is that gratitude which can remain all the time.
It is like the snow in the Himalayas that stays throughout the year. It doesn’t just fall and disappear. Whatever falls on the highest peak stays.
When complaints arise, gratitude disappears, gratefulness disappears. When there is a complaint in the mind, there is discontent, frustration, dejections, depression. All that follows. If you are not grateful, then you will start complaining. You will find fault. Even if there is none, you will try to see it. You will find it. Your mind will do it for you. You won’t even need to try hard. Your mind can easily pick it up. This is the lower journey. Gratitude is the plateau, the middle. And as you rise above that, there is grace.
Wherever you see divine grace flowing, there you will find gratitude.
Just relax and be confident at all times. But at the same time, also be wise and practical. You should not think, “Oh! I have abundance of Grace in my life”, and then put your hand in a burning fire. If you do so then naturally your hands will get burnt. Being confident (of Grace) does not in any way mean losing awareness and being impractical. Also, feeling secure and confident should not make you passive and lethargic in life that you end up doing nothing. You should not become irresponsible. Do your job sincerely and attend to all your duties and responsibilities wholeheartedly. Leave the rest to God with faith.
Everyday Wisdom ✨ 
I totally agree :D! Similar thing can be said about love. When you seek love/attention/affection, you will always keep wanting more even when you DO get it. It can never sate you. However, that desire is sated when you give love and ask none in return. It makes YOU happy, and it makes EVERYONE ELSE happy. Now, finding away to get rid of your addiction to love/attention/affction may be very difficult, but once you do, the rewards will be great.
In fact, I will discribe this exact lesson that my spirit guide has taught me in my next chapter of His Whispers, which will be posted tomorrow on my blog https://klararaskaj.com/
Thanks for the great post, joyshimmers 😀
