For by grace are ye saved through faith, and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God not by works, lest any man should boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Grace to me represents the opposite of my own power. If I try with all my might and can't do something and than, God says "here you go- this is just what you need and here's a helping hand"-- than that's grace. It's somehow softer and more gentle than our own efforts. For this reason it's more mystical and mysterious to me.

"Grace" doesn't have a religious meaning to me. To me, it means patience and kindness.
