God Is Loving Us -

We Must Go Out Into A Desert Of Some Kind (your Backyard Will Do) And Come Into A Personal Experience Of The Awesome Love Of God.

The Men And Women Who Are Truly Filled With Light Are Those Who Have Gazed Deeply Into The Darkness Of Their Own Imperfect Existence.

While The Impostor Draws His Identity From Past Achievements And The Adulation Of Others, The True Self Claims Identity In Its Belovedness. We Encounter God In The Ordinariness Of Life: Not In The Search For Spiritual Highs And Extraordinary, Mystical Experiences But In Our Simple Presence In Life.

For Ragamuffins, God's Name Is Mercy. We See Our Darkness As A Prized Possession Because It Drives Us Into The Heart Of God. Without Mercy Our Darkness Would Plunge Us Into Despair - For Some, Self-destruction. Time Alone With God Reveals The Unfathomable Depths Of The Poverty Of The Spirit. We Are So Poor That Even Our Poverty Is Not Our Own: It Belongs To The Mysterium Tremendum Of A Loving God.

Childlike In Faith Means The Daily Acknowledgment Of Utter Dependence And That I Owe My Life And Being To Another.
