Genesing In Wonde

"The Prodigal Son"

Tekening deur Charlie Mackesy

“Ek sal dadelik na my pa toe teruggaan en vir hom sê:
'Pa, ek het teen God en teen Pa gesondig! Ek is nie meer werd om Pa se seun genoem te word nie. Behandel my soos een van Pa se dagloners.'

En hy het sonder versuim na sy pa toe teruggegaan.

Toe hy nog ver aankom, het sy pa hom al gesien en hom innig jammer gekry.

Hy hardloop hom tegemoet, omhels hom en soen hom.”

‭‭Lukas‬ ‭15‬:‭18‬-‭20‬ ‭('83 Vertaling)

Die Gesprek

Elemente Uit Die Gesprek

The surprising thing

is that the intimate healing that spirituality brings into our lives

is often hidden in the muck and mire

of the very things about ourselves we wish were not true.

The secret opening through which we pass into wholeness

is hidden in the center of those wounds

we are most afraid to approach.

Skuld as Motivering Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "I am convinced that guilt and shame are never from God. They are merely the defenses of the False Self as it is shocked at its own poverty — the defenses of a little man who wants to be a big man. God leads by compassion toward the soul, never by condemnation. If God would relate to us by severity and punitiveness, God would only be giving us permission to do the same (which is tragically, due to our mistaken images of God, exactly what has happened!)." Richard Rohr ~ ❖ ~ "It is about as hard to absolve yourself of your own guilt as it is to sit in your own lap. Wrongdoing sparks guilt sparks wrongdoing ad nauseam, and we all try to disguise the grim process from both ourselves and everybody else. In order to break the circuit we need friends before whom we can put aside the disguise, trusting that when they see us for what we fully are, they won't run away screaming with, if nothing wors
