Is it weird at all to anyone else that I’m here in my little home, and you’re out there in your own little wherever-you-are, and somehow we connect as you take in the words I’ve deposited in cyberspace...? We think it’s such a big world one moment, and the next, our paths cross... and somewhere, that matters.
I love this quote:
What are you afraid of? Let God act. Abandon yourself to Him. You will suffer, but you will suffer with love, peace and consolation. You will fight, but you can carry off the victory, and God Himself, after having fought with you, will crown you with His own hand. You will weep, but your tears will be sweet, and God Himself will come with satisfaction to dry them. You will not be free any longer to give yourself up to your tyrannic passions, but you will sacrifice your liberty freely, and you will enter into a new liberty unknown to the world, in which you will do nothing except for love. ~François Fénelon
It’s that last line that something in my deeps just gloms onto: “you will do nothing except for love.” Oh, that is THE highest form of living!
