"... there are two ways through life- the way of nature, and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you'll follow. Grace doesn't try to please itself. Accepts being slighted, forgotten, disliked. Accepts insults and injuries. Nature only wants to please itself. Get others to please it too. Likes to lord it over them. To have its own way. It finds reasons to be unhappy when all the world is shining around it. And love is smiling through all things. ...No one who loves the way of grace ever comes to a bad end.
I will be true to you. Whatever comes."

This almost makes it sound like grace is an un-natural state of being!
I guess.
I think what they're talking about is first instincts vs conditioning.
