Most of us living in one day at a time recovery learn to understand that grace is not pity. The reason we know this is because grace is nothing but compassion, kindness and love. We eventually awaken to this reality and we learn that if we are to have only pity for someone, we are not committing to the reality of kindness, compassion, and love. Are we really that righteous – (are we really that cold). Would we free a sheep caught in the mud only to leave it to the wolves. Grace doesn’t do that. Neither does God, the spirit, or the universe. Neither do we. When we understand this, we understand that grace isn’t pity. It’s an important reality and a gift found in living one day at a time recovery. It’s something we eventually awaken to. Peace.
