We have to find our inner authority through Christ in us; we have to find our purpose in our love of God and neighbor, and actions of mercy and justice. Otherwise, we’re not offering anything that the world doesn’t already have or can’t find in other places. —Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation, January 4, 2025
To me, finding...or recognizing?...the Christ in us is our most difficult task since self-will is useless...meaning, duh, our most difficult task is not our task...it is our gift.
Looking back, we feel a bit gob smacked, a bit dumb, blessed...it is so obvious after the fact of living it. Only "looking back" takes as long as it takes...we slowly learn the gift of thank You when faced with a less-than...an I-don't-wanna...or more truthfully I don't think I can.
There it is! There's the lesson. Unknowingly, we know at the outset. I don't think I can is pure truth. Only when we realize it is God speaking, do we know and grow.
I can't, God can, I let him...and pray 'thank You.'
Thank you.
