Lowest of the low...

Surely I am the lowest of all creation....I am nothing. I once had something, I once had someone...I once was something, I once was someone. I have to start from the beginning, but I have to find the beginning first. I must learn to trust, I must learn to love...but even first, I must come to understand what it truly means to love and to trust. How could I have slept for so long? I wake now to find the world not at all as I left it. And not liking what I've found or who I've become. I want to love...I want to trust...please Someone, show me the way.

"He has paid us the intolerable compliment of loving us, in the deepest, most tragic, most inexorable sense." - C.S. Lewis, The Problem Of Pain, pg. 33

I have to learn to believe that.

"You're blessed when you're at the end of your rope. With less of you there is more of God and his rule.

You're blessed when you feel you've lost what is most dear to you. Only then can you be embraced by the One most dear to you.

You're blessed when you're content with just who you are--no more, no less. That's the moment you find yourselves proud owners of everything that can't be bought.

You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat.

You're blessed when you care. At the moment of being "carefull,' you find yourselves cared for.

You're blessed when you get your inside world--your mind and heart--put right. Then you can see God in the outside world.

You're blessed when you can show people how to cooperate instead of compete or fight. That's when you discover who you really are, and your place in God's family.

You're blessed when your commitment to God provokes persecution. The persecution drives you even deeper into God's kingdom." - Yeshua (Matt 5:3-10)
