Inside your True Self, you know you are not alone, and you foundationally “belong” to God and to the universe.
Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation
"Becoming Who You Are"
"Foundational Belonging"
Wednesday, 11 June 2014
Your True Self is much larger than you! You are along for the ride. When you learn to live from your soul, you live with everyone and everything else too. Any language of exclusion or superiority no longer makes sense to you. Inside your True Self, you know you are not alone, and you foundationally “belong” to God and to the universe (1 Corinthians 3:23). You no longer have to work at feeling important. You are intrinsically important, and it has all been “done unto you” (Luke 1:38), just as it was with Mary, who made no claims of worthiness or unworthiness.
And if God so gratuitously and graciously includes you here and now in this world, why would such a God change God’s mind in the next world? Love is the one eternal thing, and it takes away your foundational fear of death. This is very good stuff.
God has not been wasting your time here, and God will not be found ineffective, failing, or unfaithful toward what Divinity has created. “We may be unfaithful, but God is always faithful, for he cannot disown his own self” (2 Timothy 2:13).
