The Temptation Of The Age Is To

We Unwittingly Project Onto God Our Own Attitudes And Feelings Toward Ourselves... But We Cannot Assume That He Feels About Us The Way We Feel About Ourselves -- Unless We Love Ourselves Compassionately, Intensely, And Freely.

Our Culture Says That Ruthless Competition Is The Key To Success. Jesus Says That Ruthless Compassion Is The Purpose Of Our Journey.

I Knew There Was Only One Place To Go. I Sank Down Into The Center Of My Soul, Grew Still, And Listened To The Rabbi's Heartbeat.

The Way Of Trust Is A Movement Into Obscurity, Into The Undefined, Into Ambiguity, Not Into Some Predetermined, Clearly Delineated Plan For The Future. The Next Step Discloses Itself Only Out Of A Discernment Of God Acting In The Desert Of The Present Moment. The Reality Of Naked Trust Is The Life Of The Pilgrim Who Leaves What Is Nailed Down, Obvious, And Secure, And Walks Into The Unknown Without Any Rational Explanation To Justify The Decision Or Guarantee The Future. Why? Because God Has Signaled The Movement And Offered It His Presence And His Promise.

God Is Enough. That Is The Root Of Peace. When We Start Seeking Something Besides Him, We Lose It.
