Don’t take credit for grace – work is the most honorable act in the universe.
Grace is an unearned gift provided by theboss.
Work is an earned effort provided by me.
Confusing the two, unearned gift and earned effort,
turns gratitude into entitlement
and robs us of the clarity required to do our part.
When I mistake provision for achievement,
I diminish both lists.
My footwork and what theboss has provided.
Grace reveals the opportunity.
Effort is the answer to that invitation,
the honorable act brought to the moment.
Receive what’s been given.
Then get to work. Gratitude is a verb.
In a world of too much toomuchnesss,
Don’t take credit for grace is the line between
false humility and gratitude.
Where have you mistaken a gift for effort?
