GOD IS RELEASED FROM WITHIN

When we decide to embrace hope—when we choose to make that our goal and our message—we release a flow of energy that cannot be overcome. -- Retired Episcopalian bishop and Choctaw citizen Steven Charleston, Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation of June 29, 2023 

Our supreme purpose in life is not to make a fortune, nor to pursue pleasure, nor to write our name on history, but to discover this spark of the divine that is in our hearts. —Eknath Easwaran 

That "flow of energy" that Charleston mentions is Easwaran's "spark of divine," and both, the flow and the spark, are the God we seek...in which hope lives.

To myself I say: Pay attention! God lives within...is in constant release from our heart.

My ongoing search for the Father within is taking me deeper...less dependent on the hairs-on-my-head count, more dependent on my unknowing-but-believing feelings. 

I am not overly familiar with the Bible except to quote it when I agree or want to agree with something it says...thus, I quote:  

...all things are possible to s/he who believes....Lord, I believe; help me mine unbelief. -- Mark 9:23-25 

Thank you.
