#listen to God

[dramoor]

“Silence is precious; by keeping silence and knowing how to listen to God, the soul grows in wisdom and God teaches it what it cannot learn from men.”

~ Blessed Anne of St. Bartholomew, O.C.D. (1550-1626)

All the doors to God are crowded except for one: the door of humility and humbleness.

“You can't strategize what to do, you can only strategize how to obey what God has asked you to do."

If my people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My Face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

[Acts 11:1-18] is not the actual [or 'real-time'] narration in Acts of the conversion of Cornelius-- [that is recorded in 10:1-29--] but Peter’s rendering of it to the community [of Jewish converts to Christianity] when he is justifying his action [of not only visiting but also eating with the Gentiles]. Like the story of Paul’s conversion, this story therefore occurs three times in Acts-- [first as narrative, then twice again as speech--] showing the importance of this moment when the first gentile is received into the Church, [and the need to continually proclaim this universal heart of the Good News]. Nevertheless, Peter is humble and witty enough to include his little tiff with the Voice from heaven, whose liberalism so scandalised him, and which [therefore] ended up by roundly ticking him off for his criticism of God’s creation [as 'unclean']! Peter also amusingly stresses that the Holy Spirit, and not himself, was responsible for the acceptance of the first gentile: in the original account the Spirit merely 'interrupted' Peter (10:44), whereas now Peter [himself] says, [in effect, that his speech was neither a requirement nor a cause for grace-- emphasizing that] he hardly had time to begin speaking when the Spirit poured down!

What Would your Life Look Like if you had No Fear?

As I was enjoying the serenity of my Morning Pages time spent with God, expressing a litany of challenges and troubles that were besieging my mind in that moment, the above thought flashed across my mind. It took me by surprise to say the least. It’s not easy to admit that many of the difficulties we face come as a result of our own fear playing out in a thousand different circumstances in our…

Isaiah 51:7 No Fear With God's Law

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, you people in whose heart is My law: do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their insults. Isaiah 51:7 No one really likes to be insulted or be disapproved of. Everyone likes to be liked. When disapproval rises up, people begin to wonder what is wrong with themselves and fear that they are not worth anything. It will often cause people to shut…

Something I think about a lot is how Rick Riordan very rarely uses "girlfriend/boyfriend" to refer to Percy and Annabeth within their perspectives. They're so intertwined, even Annabeth says in hoh that the word boyfriend isn't strong enough, because Percy was a part of her. They are a singular soul, too wrapped around each others' fates that regular labels are far too weak for them. But, Rick Riordan uses "boyfriend" a lot in Nico and Wills perspectives, not because they love each other less than percabeth, but to show how much the word means to them. Nico uses it any chance he gets- "his boyfriend," "he actually had a boyfriend," because Nico has never been able to say that before. Their struggle with their queer identities mixed with Nico's catholic guilt and chronic everyone-hates-me disease makes the fact that he has someone to call his actual boyfriend so much more important to his character development.
