AN IMPERFECT INSTRUMENT OF THY PEACE

Blinding flash of the obvious: We are One, an imperfect instrument of Thy peace.

It is our imperfection that turns us to God. It is our imperfection that is the sliver of gold that graces our constant seeking to make no mistakes.

That constant search to be a better person, for peace of mind, for the glory of God...all, ego incognito.

Our mistake is trying so hard to fix us, to make us better...sweet, kind, considerate, lovable and generous. Each of those is our gift at birth, yet when life calls on us to use any one or all of them, our egoic mind thinks us a loser...a wimp...a wuss.

We are an imperfect instrument of thy peace...embrace the imperfect! The imperfect mirrors our need for God. 

Without denying an objective outer reality, what we are able to see and are predisposed to see in the outer world is a mirror reflection of our own inner world and state of consciousness at that time. --- Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, December 4, 2023

Thank you.
