Our journey of healing unfolds as we align with our true purpose. Despite our failings, love remains steadfast, akin to a purifying flame. Amidst our trials, we're called to restoration. This process unveils our conscience, evoking remorse and humility. The essence of divine longing is reciprocal union, where the soul merges into the Beloved, becoming one in the dance of existence. This union, akin to a raindrop in the river or a flame absorbed by the sun, defies separation. In this fusion, laboring to extinguish such fervent fires would be futile, for they have become one.
May love's steadfast flame guide us through restoration, union, and purpose, illuminating our path with humility and grace.
