GOD IS ALIVE AND LIVES IN OUR SOUL

What’s happening in prayer is that you’re presenting yourself for the ultimate gaze, the ultimate mirroring, the gaze of God. *** All true holiness is a reflected glory. - Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditations," February 21, 2014.

I had a very innocent conversation recently with a friend. When I got home, I realized the underlying need in that conversation, and I had missed it entirely. I was really beating on me for missing the unspoken need when I had a glimmer that started a turnaround, the change-my-mind process. 

I suddenly realized that while we talked, God was present...he was in on that conversation. My motives were pure as spring water, and my friend's need was unknown to me…and possibly to her. Whatever was said or not said, God was the translator. He intervened on our behalf...it was as it needed to be for both of us. 

As I went to sleep last night, I remembered my understanding of mirror vision…what I see as less than wonderful is God's perfection. Viewed with love (through God's eyes), there is nothing that is not just as it should be and for the benefit of all. All we need do is to believe...all we need do to believe is to change our mind.

To get up this morning and read the Rohr quote above...well, excuse me, but WOW. What a great gettin' up morning...God is alive and lives in my Soul.

Thank you.
