Good morning…
“I always stand in awe of how my morning readings are woven together,” she wrote as she shared with me Richard Rohr’s meditation from yesterday morning. That very same day, God had been schooling me in this truth: “Comparison kills. Conversation brings life.” Our heart raises the white flag of surrender as we exchange our will for God’s will, conversing with our Creator when we feel “less than” or “better than.”
Rohr shared these words on 3.18.17, written by guest writer Cynthia Bourgeault: “We get locked into “this” or “that” thinking, and so the pendulum swings back and forth or stays stuck at an impasse (think of every argument or conflict you’ve ever been in). All progression, however, or forward motion through time, operates under the Law of Three: the impasse between two opposing forces is mediated by a third force that causes a new creative arising to emerge…God has basically one agenda, which is to widen and bring into new, creative, diverse manifestations the flowing love of the Trinity. This is the Trinitarian believer’s opportunity: to bring third force into all sorts of situations, to make it appear like magic where it never appeared before.”
Even now my witness is in heaven;
my advocate is on high.
My intercessor is my friend
as my eyes pour out tears to God (Job 16:19-20, NIV).
