spiritual awakening and enlightenment in today’s world

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. —Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry

What is wanted is not the will to believe, but the will to find out, which is the exact opposite. —Bertrand Russell

Wisdom from a friend

September 10th, 2005 Posted in My Life, Spirituality

Rick, at a newlife emerging, had this to say in his a recent post

In other words, Jesus did not help folks find God—rather, as the face of God, he found people.
God went looking for us.
And when God found us, God did not chastise us,
God embraced us. God reached out and loved us
In a way that when we felt the true touch of God we could not deny
that we had just encountered the One.

Really, that was just what I needed to hear. It’s a consistent fault of mine that I’m so prone to do the “helping folks find God” thing, rather than simply offering God’s love to them.
