....a whole new set of behaviors and lifestyle will emerge. It is not that if I am righteous, then I will be loved by God; rather, I must first come to experience God’s love and then I will—almost naturally—be righteous. -- paraphrase of "Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation," March 7, 2026
From my own experience, I believe "to experience God's love," we must experience the mess of our own making. We must crash and burn which we have so arduously been attempting to avoid...by denial mostly.
There is no God in denial...there is, however, an invitation to God to come save us from our self.
There is no God in denial...there is, however, an invitation to God to come save us from our self.
There it is...God's gift to the down-and-out: Realization unto admission unto acceptance of our utter powerlessness, and Help! is born.
The beginnings of faith is trust. In trust, we go to God for God, that is all...and unknowingly we are healed. Our changed life is our daily proof.
Thank you.
