if someone has just hurt you or broken your heart, if someone has just died, all the grace you need is there-waiting for you to receive it.

The more you go with the flow of life and surrender the outcome to God, and the less you seek constant clarity, the more you will find that fabulous things start to show up in your life. ↗
