Accepting the gift… starts simultaneously by giving him something in return and it finally makes sense.
My understanding of the already aware:
Only when humans feel love (feel is a key word, "feel" not "know") do they become aware of sin, (self condemnation and self destructive behavior), then they feel regret. (Oh and ,who do you think first made man aware of love, and how - I believe the first coming of Christ did). Regret leads to guilt, guilt leads to sadness, sadness leads to pain - I think.
However, there is no specific thing which "must" take place after regret, for some odd and peculiar reason, somewhere in that process, at different stages, the "aware" are always pulled to this final idea, thought, or place of Grace. The process washes away and we accept who we really are, because we finally know love (Know is a key word, no longer feel). Our egos and pride die, or are sacrificed, given up as a gift in return. Then we are free to find new duty outside of ourselves, which is to help tranquilize and stabilize what God has wanted to revitalize for so long. The coolest part in this is he wants not our help, but simply us to participate, he wants us involved.
The full or entire understanding of what love is, flowers through grace, an opposite to sin (Self condemnation and self destructive behavior). It allows us to commune in faith, which leads us back to being friends, right, or stable with God... along with others. Now to keep this gift is selfish, to keep this light which destroys the dark. So we must constantly offer it to others - to offer this grace to others is to show our love (So others may feel what love is, and eventually know love), but more importantly it reflect gods love for humanity.
My understanding of the temporarily lost or hopeless:
When you do not feel love, you can not grow to know love, all you then know is sin, your sin, (Self condemnation and self destructive behavior) and you live day after day covered up, well hidden, walled in by it. Its cruel but you are, and powerless against it. This powerless state leads to fear, fear leads to confusion which in most cases spawns the need for emotional, and especially spiritual isolation.
Isolation is in my personal opinion the worst place to be, and the most self destructive. It twists you into rejecting the gift (Grace), and when this is done you turn to apathy, apathy or anger, and these if not stopped lead to hate. Hate, or the rejection of love is by far the worst of all - destruction of God and his great plan. The removal of God is the removal of love, which is the removal of life and of course that means death.
In this cycle for man, I say again with "feeling" love, comes the mission for grace, which leads us to finding it and trading the self, this grace opens your eyes to the "full!" understanding of love, and with the full understanding of love, comes the capability and in a sense... duty, of helping spread it around.
