Beyond Understanding

Beyond Understanding:
"Come, not to study the map of spiritual terrain, but to posses it for yourself; to walk about in it without fear of going astray. Why learn the theory of Divine Grace, and what it has been doing throughout history, when you can become the very instrument of its operation?" ~Jean Pierre de Caussade
Affirmation:
I am walking with God.
Meditation:
Dear God,
How can I express gratitude for the relationship we have? There are no words that describe the joy of Your presence. Thank You for taking me beyond the theory of You, beyond intellectual gymnastics and abstract principles. When I was a child, I thought that You lived inside of churches. Now, I see that the church, the mystical gathering of Your people, lives inside You. I follow where You lead, holding Your hand. I belong to You and I am happy. Express Yourself through me as You will. Thank You!
Amen
