"As Isaiah says of God, 'My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways' (Isaiah 55:8). Yet I am afraid we largely pulled God down into 'our thoughts.'" -- Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation, August 20, 2023
According to me, we can go to every psychiatrist known to man, get our self-esteem back if we ever had any, learn how to 'stand up for our self,' learn how to 'stand up for our self' with lovingkindness, become self-assured but not arrogant...in short, get over our self. Yes, we can.
Yes, but....
If we learn all that, live all that, and do it to a T, if we do it by self-willed knowledge alone, we have not yet begun our still more spiritual growth.
To repeat: As Isaiah says of God, 'My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways' (Isaiah 55:8).
Thank you.
