The Unforced Rhythms of Grace

The word “Unforced” speaks of something that feels natural or effortless. It is made from the prefix “un,” which means “not,” and the word “force” which refers to pressure. Pressure is what one experiences when they feel obligated. Therefore, the word unforced means not pressurized or without obligation, no exertion necessary.

The definition of this word perfectly captures the kind of relationship God desires with every single one of His children. He desires a relationship that is exempt from pressure, exertion, and obligation. He desires an unforced relationship.
