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.

Wolfwalker left a pointer to this. It's deep theology, or evolutionary psychology (if indeed there's a difference).
Thank you, Wolfwalker. You always make me think, but this time was special.
So many people have such a hard time reaching out and accepting the gift.
