OK...if that quote of Fr Richard's is truth, what does it mean to you, to me, to us to be beloved children of God?
What or who is God to each one of us?
We say we believe in the God of our own understanding...well, what, who is that in our daily walking around world? Or is it just so many words?
How does the God of my own understanding manifest itself to me right Now? Or does it? And if it doesn't, what good is it?
Is it really just so many words or is it real? Does it have meat on its bones, hair on its head, breath in its body...in another dimension?
Is it personally meaningful or is it I-hope-I'm-not-kidding-myself?
I have wrestled with each of these thoughts and questions and found my answers to each...and then had to wrestle and find it again...and yet again. The great and glorious news is: If we will seek, we will find.
We will find answers not of our own thinking. We will come to know them to be true which leads to the hard part...living, breathing, walking our proven truth. In other words, trusting.
Our trust in God is our proof of God...ah, which is not ours to do. It is God's to grant.
Let go and let God.
Thank you.
