Touching God

Touching God and touching truth requires a person to become vulnerable. This was one of the hardest aspects of my life that needed to change. When a person starts to investigate the depth of your heart, through the light of the Holy Spirit, how dark the interior part of your heart really is. The blackness, the darkness, the hooks, and the chains of sin that bind you. As St. Teresa of Avila wrote, “there are souls so ill and so accustomed to being involved in the external matters that there is no remedy, nor does it seem they can enter into themselves.”  A heart that is broken and shattered because of their own doing or by somebody else has left itself in a place that refuses to be vulnerable and has built up walls to protect it from any further hurt. Interiority has become something that they neither want to do nor care to do. God in his great love replace that stony heart with a heart of flesh. This done by the great physician, in an open-heart setting, that leaves a person completely vulnerable. It is only through the Holy Spirit and the light that he brings with Him you begin to understand Gods unconditional love that He has for us. To understand and to see what Christ saw in you from the cross, brings new life to this heart of flesh, and in turn a person can begin to see the interior of a heart that was black and broken. With this new insight from the cross, you begin to see what Christ saw in mankind that he would say from the cross, “Father forgive them they know not what they do.” The truth will set you free to live a life of grace, in communion with the Father and a life of peace with the community of mankind. We live in a world of people who do not want to be vulnerable, do not want to suffer and do not like to be challenged. It is through our lives that we live that we can change a world, one person at a time. Always remembering the greatest sinners can become the greatest saints.
