Listening, prayer, conversations and Jeremiah 6:16

[Jim Feicht @FeichtJim]

You shall love the Lord, your God with all your heart, might, and soul; you should love your neighbor as yourself; you shall love the stranger, for you were once strangers. But love alone cannot structure grace in society. - Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

…through love serve one another.
Galatians 5:13

[Jim Feicht @FeichtJim]

Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and His love is made complete in us.
1 John 4:11-12

[Jim Feicht @FeichtJim]

You have searched me, Lord,
    and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
    you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
    you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
    you, Lord, know it completely.

[Jim Feicht @FeichtJim]

The Lord is righteous in all his ways
 and faithful in all he does.
The Lord is near to all who call on him,
 to all who call on him in truth.
He fulfills the desires of those who fear him;
 he hears their cry and saves them.
The Lord watches over all who love him,

For Jesus, the idea that violence can save us from suffering, is the very personification of Satan - the original liar and tempter. It’s the alluring but empty illusion of empire: Monopolize, power, dominate others, then you’ll be truly safe.

Flourishing on the Edge of Faith:

Divine forgiveness is stronger than human violence. - page 119

Flourishing on the Edge of Faith

The unknown is powerfully unnerving. We often have a higher tolerance for enslavement than uncertainty. We’d rather survive oppression than embrace the vulnerable liberation of depending on an invisible God and walking forward in freedom. Page 73

Flourishing on the Edge of Faith

Prayer works, but it primarily works on us.

“Blessed is the man in awe of the Lord” says David. May his Majesty protect us always. Let us beseech him not to allow us to offend him. This is the greatest security we can have. May he be forever praised. Amen

And even when the flames in the soul have cooled, her inclination to help others remains and she delights in describing the favors God gives to whomever loves him and serves him. - page 136,137

The Interior Castle:

Once the silkworm has sown the seeds that will sprout new silkworms, it dies forever. I say that it “sows seeds” because it is my strong belief that God does not grant such favors in vain.

[Jim Feicht @FeichtJim]

If a person does not benefit directly from it, the favor will benefit somebody else. God’s blessing leaves, exalted desires inside the soul, which causes her to live righteously and give generously to others. From contact with her fire, other souls will ignite.
