Blinding flash of the obvious: When God comes to me, He comes in toto...there is no small part for one in need and the rest held back for others. In my need, I get All of God, and All of God is available to the others at the same time. That's God.
And then I read: What I have seen is the totality recapitulated as one, received not in essence but by participation. Just as if you lit a flame from a flame, it is the whole flame you receive. —Symeon the New Theologian (from Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," December 25, 2020)
The hard lesson a-learning...and the blessing in disguise...is that which comforts me in my hour of need, at the same time comforts that who or which discomforts me.
God loves me so much...and my discomforter equally.
Thank you
