Love brings up everything unlike itself.

There is a lot to look at when you are serious about transformation. You look at everything you've ever done, every circumstance you've ever been in, cleaning up everything in your past. Reconciling, forgiving others, forgiving yourself. It's a lot of work, actually.

When we stop trying to control events, they fall into a natural order, an order that works. We're at rest while a power much greater than our own takes over, and it does a much better job than we could have done. We learn to trust that the power that holds galaxies together can handle the circumstances of our relatively little lives.

It's the beginning of your day. You awake and look around you, feeling perhaps a joyful expectation, or perhaps an awful dread. No matter which, remember this: God loves you with an infinite love.

You've done the bourgeois thing, perhaps, but let's not call that love.

You don't have to pray to attract great things, because great things are attracted to you already. Pray that you won't throw them away once they get here.

I have heard it said that living out of our vision is more powerful than living out of our circumstance.
