Struggling with one’s own shadow self, facing interior conflicts and moral failures, undergoing rejections and abandonment, daily humiliations, experiencing any kind of abuse or your own clear limitations, even accepting that some people hate you: All of these are gateways into deeper consciousness and the flowering of the soul. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, December 8, 2013
I am so glad that God doesn't hold resentments. Just yesterday, that quote of Fr. Richard had me irritated, resistant and not happy about it. I could not...would not...let it lift me. It was a downer to my ego, and that was good enough for me.
This morning I read it, and my heart sang. What a wonderful gift for it confirms that all my rues, regrets and remorses really are gateways into my deeper consciousness and the flowering of my soul.
God is so good to me...He can and will change my mind...and heart!...for me.
How Great Thou Art.
Thank you.
