I like to do “hidden object” puzzles. The objects to find can be text, sometimes it’s silhouette pictures, and sometimes the whole familiar picture is reverse. Regardless, I have often found that I cannot find an object no matter how hard I look, only to see that it was right in plain sight, or was not what I expected.
Sometimes I think we fail to observe God’s grace that is right in front of us. We’re too busy in our everyday lives and expect His grace to be obvious. It is not—it is subtle, but steady.
Luci Swindoll writes, Because of grace incarnate, we have been given the limitless, ongoing, unmerited love of God. It takes us through life and into eternity.” She further writes, “Don’t be duped into thinking that because you don’t see it, grace isn’t there. It is. Deity became humanity in order to bring it to us. It’s new every day, just like packages waiting to be unwrapped on Christmas morning. Keep looking.”
