Now I wonder whether I have sufficiently realized that during all this time God has been trying to find me, to know me, and to love me. The question is not "How am I to find God?" but "How am I to let myself be found by Him?" The question is not "How am I to know God?" but "How am I let myself be known by God?" And finally the question is not "How am I to love God?" but "How am I to let myself be loved by God? - Henri Nouwen - The Return of the Prodigal Son
What if this were true?
What if God allowed us, drew us into the wilderness so we would eventually stop running?
What if God wanted to know the authentic us? The us of the DNA he created, not our own propaganda or our own desires. What if in the process of God knowing us, we might begin to understand who he created us to be. Some things in our past may begin to make more sense to us, as we let God know us.
What if all this were true, it could make 2013 very different from 2012, if we make concious choice to be found by the Father who loves us!
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverge in a wood, and I
I took the road less travelled
and it made all the difference - Robert Frost
