Steven Charleston posts weekly on FB and is a source of inspiration to me and many others. Here is today’s post.
Here is a seeker’s prayer, offered for all who are searching for the Spirit, not inside the walls of faith, but outside, in the open sky of questions, among the uncertain souls who bear the scars of conformity, in the company of mystics and dreamers, religious nomads wandering the far corners of ritual, looking for a truth worth believing, believing goodness is out there, undefined but no less sacred, beneath the moonlight, among the whispers of innocent hearts, a holy hope carried like a gift, brought to the place where God promised to meet us. May all seekers be blessed. May they discover what they seek. May they be heralds of light.
Beautiful, I forwarded it to Bob
Glad you liked it. Hope he does too.
Steven’s prayer says “May they discover what they seek”. Sometimes I’m not even sure what it is I’m seeking. And sometimes grace happens and something appears that delightfully surprises me.
Could it be that one of the things you are seeking is to be delightfully surprised by grace? That is one of the ways I experience you.
Hi Bob. Well this certainly touched my heart.
Only a few hours back in the sates … and as glad as I was to hear my mothers voice when we landed in Chicago, and then my son’s in Colorado, and see my adorable farm and sweet critters … I am not quite ready to return ……… ??????
Welcome home…when you are ready to return. It looked like an amazing trip.
Glad to be among the seekers in this life 🙂 Thank you for posting this beautiful reminder that it’s okay to search, to be uncertain, to look for Truth and to hope for all the goodness that can come to us!
Thanks to you who in your seeking not only hopes for but helps generate the “goodness that can come to us!”
