Grace is the Divine influence on the heart

Grace is the Divine influence on the heart of man to transform the heart of man by virtue of it's power. The weakness of man is the hardness of his heart! Without the POWER of grace, he is self centered and most everything he does is for the gratification to his "ego". Grace empowers us to live in the abundance of goodness with no ulterior motive coming from the sense of lack. Without grace, there is always an "inner sense" of void. God created us to be "filled" by His goodness and to live with the attitude of thanks giving because of His generosity. God did this so that we could experience His love and from this experience, we could love and and receive love from others. Grace is the conduit for which relationships bind together.
