Divine Friend

I am Hoo, but Who are You, Lord?  Oh, praise be Your Holy Name, You are "I Am"!  Thank You, Lord, for Being!  These days I have less concrete images of You, except as Abba, Jesus, Spirit.  When I try to use words to think of how I think of You what comes to mind is Lover, Dance-partner, Friend.  Lord, I know I am not worthy to be any of these to You, but You are these to me; You are so generous.  I know You in these ways because You have invited me to be Your friend, and You challenge me to be a true lover, to work and dance Your Will, Your Celebration of Life.  Praise be Your Holy Name, dear Abba-Papa!  I love You!  Help me Love you more and more and better and better every day.  Praise be Jesus.  Blessed be the Holy Spirit.

True Freedom

That's what I really want: to be content in all things, to keep my contentment anchored in Christ, regardless of the circumstances.  That is true freedom.




While I reflect on all the ways and times I have been aware of God leading me into closer union with Him through special experiences or moments of awakening awareness, I am made more clearly mindful that what God wants of me is my complete Trust in Him, and what He wants to give me is complete Life-Giving Contentment.  By "contentment" I don't mean placidity.  "Contentment" means everything tending towards one thing.  That "one thing" for me is my Life in God through Christ.


Along the way, each of these experiences have taught me many things about myself and about God.  But taken altogether I can see that they have one purpose: One-ness w/ my Loving-Creator-Savior-Redeemer-Eternal-Life-Source-Who-Is-Abba!  


Glory be to the Father
And to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning
Is now
And every shall be
World without end.
Amen!


Is now!  How blessed are we who embrace this Now!
Praise You Jesus!
Thank You Lord!
