From The Restory - Conversations On The Journey (88)

The Will of God


“The Word became flesh and blood, and moved into the neighborhood....”

‭‭John‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭(The Message)                        



"That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God
is worked into something good.”

“I’m absolutely convinced that nothing -
nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic,
today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable -
absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love.....”
‭‭
Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭28; 31‬-‭39‬ ‭(The Message)‬                    





The Conversation





Elements From The Conversation

When we (George & Matilda) ponder on this subject and look at it from the perspective of our own experience, the overarching theme is that God is not far-off, way distant from where He manipulates and guides things.

We take Jesus's message seriously - God is with you, in you. So intimately entwined that we cannot be separated.

Rainer Maria Rilke expresses it beautifully when he speaks against that backdrop about the vulnerability of God, even of  a concern about God. 


What will you do, God, when I die?

I am your pitcher (when I shatter?)
I am your drink (when I go bitter?)
I, your garment; I, your craft.
Without me what reason have you?

Without me what house
where intimate words await you?
I, velvet sandal that falls from your foot.
I, cloak dropping from your shoulder.

What will you do, God? It troubles me.


From The Book of Hours I, 36

May you live like a river flows.... 


With love.


George & Matilda

  'n Duisend Hande Die Gesprek Elemente Uit Die Gesprek ~ ❖ ~ "Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative [or creation] there is one elementary truth, the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too.  All sorts of things occur to help one that would otherwise never have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of incidents and meetings and material assistance which no man would have believed would have come his way." W.H. Murray, Skotse ontdekkingsreisiger ~ ❖ ~ Cause of Death Uitstalling Ariana in vervoering  Musiek Wanneer jy dinge nie so krampagtig probeer beheer nie, jou oorgee aan die vloei van gebeure en oop is vir die onverwagte, kan jy saam met Ian McKellen sing. Ian McKellen gee nie om saam met wie hy sing nie, solank hy dit net kan doen.
