LOVE...OUR SPIRITUAL GIFT, OUR LIFE'S GOAL

The times when we meet or reckon with our contradictions are often turning points, opportunities to enter into the deeper mystery of God. —Richard Rohr, Daily Meditations, January 20, 2024

All of our answers are spiritual in nature, and all are within us...our need, our peace, is in releasing them. We are told to let go and let God...our failure is in trying to let go and let God.

God is not in the comfortable, the easy, the Money, Honey world...those being the solutions of our best thinking to life's quirks and unsuspected curves. No...as noted by Fr Richard from December 24, 2022: Where is this God being revealed? Not in the safe world, but at the edge, at the bottom, among those where we don’t want to find God, where we don’t look for God, where we don’t expect God. 

Whatever our worst fear is at the moment, know this: Fear is fed by our wounded ego. When we fight it, shun it, ignore it, we lose; when we resist it not, it is turned over to God...fear's Good Samaritan. 

God is love...and all we need to loose fear and let it go is love. Our spiritual gift, as well as our life's work, is proving that.

All things work together for good.... 

Thank you.
