truth moment

I am a child of God
a brother of Jesus
I am held safe in the intimacy of the divine love

it is necessary to live my life from that inner place of love
my greatest spiritual task
is to be so fully trusting that I belong to God
that I can be free in the world
free to speak when my words are not received
free to act when my actions are criticized,

ridiculed

or considered useless
free to receive love from people
to belong to God while giving of myself to people

today I pray Christ will pierce my heart
with the things that pierce His heart
to grant me the grace to look for Him
in the midst of the world's suffering
and that He will give me the faith to join Him there
