Spiritual Epiphanies

As shared with a friend of mine who is a nun of perpetual indulgence.

#1. Nothing exists unless God wills it to exist. God wills everything, every object, every person, circumstance and challenge because of his love.
#2. Everyone wants to be loved. In *spite* of themselves. God does this utterly. Recognizing that and really feeling that in your bones is huge.
#3. No matter how fucked up you are right now, how fucked up you were in the past, and how fucked up you may be in the future, you are perfect in God’s eyes and he cannot love you any less for anything. His whole will is to love completely and one has to have extreme arrogance to believe that anything that a mortal can do could possibly detract from that amazing Grace. (how sweet that sound, sing it Mahalia)
#4. God desires for us to have an intimate and personal relationship with him. Always. Every Day. To recognize that as often as possible makes life a little easier each step and stumble. To deny that or to veer away from it actively is like shooting yourself in the foot and trying to run a marathon.

I read your statement. For my heart, and I am older…it seemed somewhat irreverent, shocking.

But…I had a nephew who was like a son to me. I have heard him express the thought that you have.

He committed suicide two months ago. With all of my heart, I trust and believe, he is with God. For the times he spoke, and I would gentle guide him towards a softer expression, I never condemnded him in any fashion, as he was so abused and good. He died with his Bible on his chest, and my photo.

The pain you expressed, made me smile inside, for your bluntness and honesty.

I pray you are happy every day of your life.
