I awoke this morning with the thought that how I am right this very minute is how I am supposed to be. God is walking me toward God, and every step I take, thought I think, is his...with free will and ego riding herd.
Then I read Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation," and in particular: To live a just life in this world is to identify with the longings and hungers of the poor, the meek, and those who weep. This identification and solidarity is in itself a profound form of social justice.
I got an immediate cheap shot of gratitude for that early-morning thought of mine because that told me God knew I was going to need it when I read Rohr...that left to my own thinking, I'd be doubting me. There...that's my interpretation of praying without ceasing...finding God in every little stumble-bumble.
Just this morning I read in "God Calling" a note from 1996: Getting free of my sister simply means freeing my sister, and she's free in my mind today. We can tell our self that God has our back till our face falls off. Until we let it be true, it's just so many words.
Thank you.
