Grace is what God showers us in everyday. It is the very thing that can save our souls from an eternity of fire. Without it, I can't even begin to comprehend how hard life would be. For example, when I think about how I use to live my life, I get very nauseous. I begin to imagine how Gods wrath could affect me and I experience indescribable emotions.
I remember when I had a similar experience during the summer while attending an Episcopal Church service and taking communion. As I was sitting there waiting for my turn, I suddenly realized that every wrong thing I had ever did were the very things that nailed Jesus to the cross. My disgusting, unnecessary sin nailed a perfect and holy being to a tree; the son of God to a tree! I immediately felt sick to my stomach and I could barely walk up to the alter.
I think the moments when you realize how much you need Gods grace and you physically feel ill from all the wrong you have done, are the prefect moments to get on the ground and cry out to God. Tell Him you are sorry, ask for His forgiveness, and begin to experience the grace that we would all be lost without.
