[The following is a reprint of my post of December 30, 2017,]
Live to bring others to Me, the only Source of Happiness and Heart-Peace. -- "God Calling," December 30
I've underlined and highlighted that sentence so many times that it is all but unreadable now...and the word "others" I have circled repeatedly with exclamation points behind it.
One year (which is now too faded to decipher) I even wrote out to the side, "I understand this more deeply now." In fact, I had barely begun to understand because I was still thinking in terms of "getting" the words as opposed to doing them.
Doing them starts with living, from our mind unto our heart, to bring others (i.e., our Gertrude or Joe Doaks of the moment) to the Source of all that is happy, joyous and free. That cannot be done with resentment, fear or just minor distaste doing our thinking for us.
Faith in God is not just faith to believe in spiritual ideas. It’s to have confidence in Love itself. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," December 30, 2017.
Thank you.
