Our very being reflects the sacred.  The incarnation of God in human flesh is proof.     “Have you ever noticed that the expression ’the light of the world’ is used to describe the Christ (John 8:12) but that Jesus also applies the same phrase to us? (Matthew 5:14, ’you are the light of the world.’)”  (page 31, The Universal Christ )   I am beloved as a child of God, no matter what.   How do my life and actions reflect my identity as God’s child?

“Blessed are you in whom the light lives, in whom the brightness blazes---your heart a chapel, an altar where in the deepest night can be seen the fire that shines forth in you in unaccountable faith, in stubborn hope, in love that illuminates every broken thing it finds.” Jan Richardson in Circle of Grace   When I drop into the depths of the my heart and listen for God, what do I know in my bones as God’s calling over my life?

It doesn’t have to be the blue iris, it could be weeds in a vacant lot, or a few small stones; just pay attention, then patch   a few words together and don’t try to make them elaborate, this isn’t a contest but the doorway   into thanks, and a silence in which another voice may speak. Praying  by Mary Oliver     When I drop into the depths of the my heart and listen for God, what do I know in my bones as God’s calling over my life?
