The Grace I Almost Lost

The Grace I Almost Lost is a reflective CEJ spiritual piece born from a real moment on the road — a moment where frustration rose, grace slipped, and God gently intervened. This poem captures the quiet lessons found in everyday encounters, reminding us that mercy is often revealed in the places we least expect.

Through vivid imagery and heartfelt confession, the poem traces the shift from impatience to understanding, from human frailty to divine compassion. It speaks to anyone who has ever reacted too quickly, felt ashamed afterward, or wished they had shown more grace. Anchored by Philippians 4:5 (NIV), this piece becomes a gentle reminder that God’s presence guides us even when our patience wears thin.

Presented with CEJ’s signature emblem and a serene, reflective design, The Grace I Almost Lost is a keepsake meant to inspire, uplift, and encourage spiritual growth. It fits beautifully within the Wisdom Collect line as a reminder that grace is never truly lost — only waiting to be rediscovered
