"Christ's merciful working is in us, and we graciously accord to Him through the gifts and the virtues of the Holy Ghost."
Julian of Norwich (Ch. 54)
At times we can feel doubtful, troubled, anxious, angry, stubborn, fearful or forsaken. Yet Christ is mercifully working in us, with all the compassion it is possible to have towards us. Thoughts and feelings can be so loud and strong, circumstances and troubles can be so troubling, yet still Christ is working in us. Someone is in us, a Loving Presence that is loving all the hurting, scared, confused parts of us, loving us in our problems, loving us in all our emotions and mental troubles. That love is the strongest force in the universe, stronger than any emotion, than any trouble. Love bathes us inwardly, love accepts us as we are, love completely and wholly embraces us in this moment, whatever we are thinking or feeling in it. Love loves all the negative emotions into peace and rest. Christ, who is this Loving Presence, works to bring us to stillness, bring us to just gaze on Him inwardly, to just rest in His arms. And the Holy Spirit within starts to graciously align us with reality, align us with Christ's thoughts, Christ's perspective. And things become clear again, things become peaceful again, things become okay again, because He has reminded us of the truth: Christ is here, and all is well. He takes care of everything. He has already overcome all the negativity. He has already brought us into peace. We are already safe on the other side, resting in Him. We are already one with Love, one with Life. We are in perfect accord with Him. We are well and whole in Him. And all is well! How wonderful is His work on the inside of us!
"[Be] letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God’s wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It’s wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."
Philippians 4:6-7 (MSG)
A Prayer: Thank You for working in me to bring me back to seeing You and Your love in my life. Thank You that You have already taken care of whatever worry or problem I am facing today.
