TO FULLY REALIZE GOD AS LOVE

I was reading this morning again about Julian of Norwich, a fourteenth-century Catholic anchoress, who spent the majority of her adult life cloistered in a small stone cell attached to a church. She wrote of God: All his actions unfold from this love, and through this love he makes everything that happens of value to us, and in this love we find everlasting life. 

My desire has ever been to fully realize God as love. To realize that the invisible, unexplainable, silent, untouchable God of my understanding is love...invisible, unexplainable, silent, untouchable love. Further, that the Father and I are one, ergo, I too am love....invisible, unexplainable, silent, untouchable love. 

Here's my truth: Living my life daily, making my mistakes daily, my apologies as needed, and my amends as directed, wanting and needing to forgive others their mistakes whether they make their amends or not, leaning on God however I lean on God...in short, happily stumble-bumbling along...is as important, as essential, as living cloistered in a stone cell all alone, contemplating God.

My desire still lives in me, my truth is more honestly me today.  

According to me, we are each God's daily joy...which he works out through each of us individually. I like to think if it weren't for us, God wouldn't have any laughs at all. If that be true, why not go ahead and enjoy being human. I think of it as doing our part to please God

Thank you.
