receive? yes, please give me more
The most intimate belonging is self belonging. Yet your self is not something you could ever own; it is rather the total gift that every moment of your life endeavors to receive with honor. True belonging is gracious receptivity.
– John ODonohue
Do I believe this life revolves around me? No. Do I believe in grace or do I believe that I need to do something to be worthy? Grace alone.
If I truly believe God created such a one-and-only-one, as me. Unique, and equal in value, to every other amazing creation He has created, for such a moment in time as this, what kind of self absorbed, and foolish, person would I be not to recognize who I am as a daughter of God?
How can I not say a continual thank you and move into as much of my belovedness as I possibly could understand?
As Henri Nouwen says, “The question is not how much I can prove and love God, but how much I will allow Him to love me”.
How much of God’s love will I receive? I believe we can have as much of God as we want…and so I say, this and every, day…
FILL MY CUP, LORD….as the deer pants for water, I am thirsty for You, give me more…
