Transformation

[JimR-OCDS]

Transformation is not about great spiritual experiences but coming to terms with our own human weakness as we experience it. … Powerlessness is the greatest power there is because it enables one to simply be more and more a channel of God’s power and love."

Thomas Keating.

Essentially the same thing St Paul wrote.

“It is when I am weak, that I am powerful.”

It’s allowing God’s will into our life, but for this to take place, we must humbly detach ourselves form our own ego driven agendas, which are blocks to allowing God’s transforming grace into our lives.

The following says it better than I can express.

Fr. Jean Pierre de Caussade

Acceptance of what God sends us in the present moment – this is the “mustard seed” which is almost too small to be recognized or harvested, the treasure that no one finds, as it is thought to be too well hidden to be looked for.
But what is the secret of finding this treasure? There isn’t one. The treasure is everywhere. It is offered to us all the time and wherever we are.

Abandonment to Divine Providence

Centered In Christ Jesus

My favorite scripture reveals this: “My grace is enough for you, for in weakness power reaches perfection.” God’s grace, my weakness, Gods Power. Says it all.
