...until we know and rely on [God], and until we call upon, share, and love [God], we’re just going along for the ride. --Fr Richard Rohr. "Daily Meditation," May 24,2026
According to me, we can't want God in order to fulfill our material needs...we must want God for Itself and that is all.
That is and has been my hardest reach.
I want to want God and only God, but it seems there is ever an urgent "need" that steps in front and demands attention. Even my self-determined spiritual growth is not purely of God being self determined.
Blinding flash of the obvious: When self is driving the bus, self is first on the bus...God is first one welcomed after.
Mercy, that's a sobering flash...but not new to me. What else have I been striving for all these years but the God of my own understanding...and that is all.
Thank you.
