Did Jesus know, when he walked this earth, what a change his thoughts and actions would make in individual lives for all time? Did Meister Eckhart? Did Gandhi? Martin Luther King, Jr.? And could each or any of them have pictured the good, then bad, then good, then bad that would come...and be pinned on them? How their words of love, only love, could be so mingled and mangled and used to teach and preach hate?
Mother Teresa's good name is already being spliced and diced...and she hasn't been gone a quarter of a century yet. Will her good works be for naught?
Is Saint Francis of Assisi today just somebody to quote? I was over thirty years old before I ever heard of him...nearly forty before it entered my mind that I might try to actually do that which he taught. And what about Pope John the Twenty Third? And Pope Francis today?
Ah...God is so good to me. I'm beginning to see the light...all my questions are from my reasoning mind. All the answers are in the consciousness of the universe.
The answer is Yes! one person can make an actual difference. Once we give up our ego-victory desire to make the difference that wins us the individual Nobel Prize for Humility and settle for still more spiritual growth, we are the difference.
The spiritual universe is real. It exists within us, without us, right now. It is available to all, but especially to the ones and twos who come together into groups and fellowships all seeking to know God...and some (most?) not having a clue that's what we are seeking. For the God we seek is for the benefit of others...always and all ways.
Thank you.
