God loves us freely. God also lets us choose freely, even though we sometimes choose what is not God’s will. When we turn away from God, we are a bit like children who hide by covering their own faces and crying, “You can’t see me!” Of course God can see us! We are the ones in darkness. We are hiding from ourselves, not from God. Even then, God is with us, watching us, waiting with open arms. God loves us, even when we reject God. God is with us, even when we are not aware of it. That is what grace is. It is the sorrow God plants in our hearts when we sin. It is the desire God gives us for healing; it is our longing for love. Grace is God’s tireless offer to fill our emptiness—God’s tender urging that we drop our hands and open our arms. It is God, loving us freely.
