Man is not blessed because God is in him and so near that he has God – but in that he is aware of how near God is, and knowing God, he loves him. – Meister Eckhart
It’s occurred to me that I need to consider the possibility that everything I’ve ever believed is not true; not pick and choose what to let go of, but to just let go of it all … and see what remains.
Wonder if I’m not who I think I am? Wonder if the most important thing I’ll ever do is love the people around me? Something has changed, but I’m not sure what. What once seemed alluring to me about myself is becoming rough and jagged.
I have already received the highest level of recognition that I can ever receive – I know who I am. I know that I am okay, but I am truly realizing that a greater recognition is who I am not. I am not God. The Spirit moves through me at times, but that has nothing to do with me. I am nothing of myself.
I must be an empty vessel – suspend all judgment against others … and against myself. By thought, word, or deed, harm no one … not even me … be an empty space … take the “I” out of me and create a space … a blank page to write the name of everyone I meet in love … and don’t forget my name also.
I tend to switch back and forth between judging others and beating myself up for judging others. Peace … be still … and know that I AM is God … something is changing … the wind is changing. I release myself into Your hands, Abba … my Father … my Mother … my All … my God.
