[Grace](http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/para/2000.htm) is one of those words I read so often in scripture and books, but for many years had no clear understanding of what it really was. This lead me to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, which provided many wonderful explanations of all the ways God's grace bless us. The following is the "Allison Abridged" version of the definition of grace: **Grace is God's undeserved yet fully given gift of His Holy Spirit within us**. This gift of grace helps us to choose God and want to live in his goodness. Grace works in each of us to move each of us to a fuller more complete conversion of heart. In short, it is, as the title of Dana Catherine new song aptly states, “My Savior in Me.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCC8lRdaklU   ## **Scripture Seeking** *[My Savior in Me](http://www.danacatherinemusic.com/shop/) *inspired a deeper look at the following Scriptures.

When I have brought down the walls; and softened my heart to be open to believe in something beyond myself – I have never been disappointed. He truly has dispelled the darkness and brought me into the light of his love. The funniest thing: after these incredible encounters with letting go and giving God permission to move within my life, I always wonder what took me so long to let him in!
