Something in you dies when you bear the unbearable. And it is only in that dark night of the soul that you are prepared to see as God sees and to love as God loves. —Ram Das
I'm betting there are a gazillion unbearables in our life...egoic snags and snarks that we wrestle with, praying God to take them all the while we are refusing to release them.
If that be so, ponder this: They, our ego's issues, would comprise the stepping stones to the Big Unbearable that eventually leads to life everlasting...i.e., God. Or, our ego is our well-hidden gold.
Coming to that realization unto acceptance is transforming.
There is a promise that holds the key to that transformation. The promise is that God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf. Our transformation is all about our realization that his intervention is not a guarantee that we will get our want, that likely we will not get our want...and we will be the better for it. (This is what Rohr describes as developing the art of losing. I only love that.)
We are transformed when our head and our heart know God's will for the long-sought cosmic pearl beyond price.
Thank you.
