"THE GIFT" by Richard Rohr
Question of the day:
How and when have I surrendered to God?
It has been said many times that, after transformation, you seldom have the feeling you have found anything. It feels much more like Someone found you!
You find yourself having been grabbed, being held, and being Someone’s beloved. At first, you do not even know what is going on. All you know is that it is a most wondrous undergoing, but an undergoing nevertheless. You know you have been”had” (see Jeremiah 20:7-9 or Isaiah 6:4-7). You are in Someone Else’s grip.
How else will anybody rightly give up control? They won’t. They’ll use religion itself as a disguised way of taking control, or try to control God by their good behavior.
From The Naked Now: Learning to See as the Mystics See (pp.18-19)
Current mantra:
God is in me and I am in God.
