Your Life As A Quest – Henri Nouwen
Sometimes we feel so much fear and anxiety, and identify so closely with our suffering, that our pain masks the questions. Once pain or confusion is framed or articulated by a question, it must be lived rather than answered. The first task of seeking guidance then is to touch your own struggles, doubts, and insecurities – in short, to affirm your life as a quest. Your life, my life, is given graciously by God. Our lives are not problems to be solved but journeys to be taken with Jesus as our friend and finest guide.
And when we frame what Nouwen is saying with contemplation and begin to understand the meaning of the “ground of being” we see the journey we are taking with God and others.
Yes ♥️
We live in ‘interesting’ times at the moment.
It is up to us to find our ‘inner peace’ in these times.
