Stories of God

“Take care lest the light in you
be darkness.� Luke 11:35

When
you use God
to have
power
over others
it blinds
and poisons
your heart.

Your sureness
is rooted in
your “sincere� Ego
but God does not
lend Himself
to such certainty
as you have for others.

Spiritual arrogance
is a deceit
and a fraud:
words used to
empower yourself
over others.

The more words
you need to claim your
certainty--
the more empty
and lonely
is your heart.

The heart in love
does not crave an audience
to prove its claim.
But is filled with
humility and
gratitude.

“Be Still my heart:
It is I, the Lord
who waits
your surrender.�
