With that, grace means perfecting the art of balance. I love this! Very humane, and telling of the unending process of growth.

Amazing poem..

To me grace means free and underserved favour,
That He who knew no sin became a sacrifice for me, as an atonement for my sin.
That in Him I might have life and life in full,
Peace like none that this world can give,
And fullness of joy.

This poem is exactly what I needed to read thank you. I think many people are experiencing this toss up and down of emotions with the unstable economies it's leaving us questioning and doubting who we are at our very core, and this poem has helped me remember. Thank you for I AM...

I really enjoyed the emotional thought process for your poem. The brilliant line, “To love and forgive unconditionally, but only trust intelligently.”. This line touched my heart.

THIS POEM ENCAPSULATES THE DAILY STRUGGLES WE HAVE AS HUMAN BEINGS AS WE NAVIGATE THE WORLD, OUR OWN NEEDS AND THE INNATE DESIRE THAT WE ALL HAVE TO BE GOOD PEOPLE, TREAT OTHERS WELL AND LIVE OUR BEST LIVES....ACCEPTING ALL OF IT - THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE COULD BE BETTER.

Wow, such a thoughtful and insightful exploration of the balance that individuals should strive for in life.
My favorite line is To be at war in the material world, without losing inner peace. The author presents a series of paradoxes that are central to living a fulfilling life, such as being confident without being arrogant, brave without being fearless, and kind without being dishonest. Overall, the poem is a great reminder to strive for a harmonious existence and to be mindful of one's actions and attitudes.

Wow. That poem is beautiful in every way! I love how it uses both extremes to prove a point.
The point being, that feeling too deeply is usually black and white. And in life sometimes it’d be best to find a grey area in our compulsive pursuit. Thinking of things from all angles might be beneficial.

Of course we have to do, without trying because someone people may end up trying everything but actually do nothing. I think it is good and at big percentage true.

Lovely concept. Nice words. Can be divided into stanza to enable one read it in piecemeal. And allow the words sink into to the soul.

I got struck while reading this line, "to be at war in the material world, without losing inner peace". we were somewhat losing our inner peace while defending ourselves in this material world. Nice lines.
