Although it’s not obvious, water is everywhere we are, all the time. We ourselves are mostly water, all living plants contain a high percentage of water, and the very air we breathe always contains some water, even when humidity is at its lowest. Water is contained in many of the foods we depend on to stay healthy, from vegetables, to dairy products, to meats, and if its not there in the form in which we eat them, it was there in their earlier forms. We are dependent on water, whether we know it or not.
God’s grace is like that. It too is everywhere we are, whether we recognize it or not. It's what keeps us alive and makes life worth living. It’s provided to all, in one form or another, whether or not they appreciate its presence, nature, or source, and none of us can live without it.
