When people say, “You’re so lucky,” I can’t help but smile. Because the truth is, there’s no such thing as luck — only grace and favor.

God’s unmerited grace is what wakes us up every morning, puts a roof over our heads, and fills our lives with opportunities we didn’t earn. And yet, too many of us forget to say two simple words: thank you.

What Is Unmerited Grace?

Unmerited grace is the kindness, favor, and blessings God gives us, not because we deserve them, but because He loves us. It’s not something you can work for or earn — it’s a gift.

When you recognize that everything good in your life is a result of grace, it changes your perspective. You stop looking at others with envy. You stop chasing luck. And you start being grateful for what you already have.

Why Gratitude Unlocks Favor

One of the most overlooked principles of success is gratitude. Gratitude is not just good manners — it’s a spiritual key. When you’re grateful for what God has already given you, He can trust you with more.

Think about it: why would God keep blessing someone who never acknowledges the blessings they already have? But when you wake up and say, “Thank you, Lord,” you open the door to more grace and more favor.

How to Apply This in Your Life

1. Start your day with prayer and thanksgiving.

2. Acknowledge even the small blessings — your health, your home, your loved ones.

3. Stop comparing yourself to others. Focus on your own blessings.

4. Apply the principles of success — work hard, be kind, and stay humble.

Success isn’t a mystery. It’s a series of principles applied over time. And it all begins with acknowledging the grace you’ve already received.

Final Thoughts

There’s no magic formula, no shortcut, no luck. Just grace. Unmerited, undeserved, and undeniably powerful. Today, choose gratitude. And watch how favor follows.
