When Being Is Divorced From

Prayer Is First And Foremost An Act Of Love

Suffering, Failure, Loneliness, Sorrow, Discouragement, And Death Will Be Part Of Your Journey, But The Kingdom Of God Will Conquer All These Horrors. No Evil Can Resist Grace Forever.

Define Yourself Radically As One Beloved By God. This Is The True Self. Every Other Identity Is Illusion. God's Love For You And His Choice Of You Constitute Your Worth. Accept That, And Let It Become The Most Important Thing In Your Life.

The Trouble With Our Ideals Is That If We Live Up To All Of Them, We Become Impossible To Live With.

And Grace Calls Out, 'you Are Not Just A Disillusioned Old Man Who May Die Soon, A Middle-aged Woman Stuck In A Job And Desperately Wanting To Get Out, A Young Person Feeling The Fire In The Belly Begin To Grow Cold. You May Be Insecure, Inadequate, Mistaken Or Potbellied. Death, Panic, Depression, And Disillusionment May Be Near You. But You Are Not Just That. You Are Accepted.' Never Confuse Your Perception Of Yourself With The Mystery That You Really Are Accepted.
