Growth comes not by getting everything right, but by allowing grace to do its work. The path is shaped by effort, failure, and unexpected insight. Looking back reveals the mix of ambition and ego that once drove the need to succeed, now softened into something more honest. God has never stopped working through the mess and the missteps. The contemplative journey shows that the goal isn’t more knowledge, but deeper presence and trust. Each day brings the chance to speak truth, offer love, and contribute what is needed. This work matters. It forms identity, grounds action, and invites shared clarity. Staying faithful to what is true, loving, and necessary has made all the difference.
May grace continue to shape our lives
into vessels of truth, love, and necessary action.
(inspired by Richard Rohr, Daily Meditations)
