In the Old and the New
In life, the most profound transformation comes when we have the courage to embrace both the known and the unknown. True holiness is not about mere imitation or following a prescribed path but about finding and fulfilling our unique purpose. We often resist change, clinging to the familiar, yet it is through letting go that we make room for the new. Genuine spiritual growth demands this willingness to die to what is no longer needed, to shed the layers that no longer serve us, and to step into the fullness of our unique calling.
The true spiritual journey finds joy in both absolute humility and deep connection at the same time. The love that the divine has for each soul is unique and tailored, making one feel beloved, chosen, and even a favorite. The wisdom to discern what is timeless from what is fleeting requires both courage and clarity.
Each person is loved by the divine in a way that is utterly unique and irreplaceable, a love so specific that it defies comparison. This love calls us to live authentically, to do what is ours to do, not what others have done before us. The greatest spiritual leaders understood this: they discerned what was timeless and what was fleeting, embracing what is true and discarding what is false. They found holiness not in rigid tradition but in the living, breathing reality of their own lives, fully engaged with the world and yet deeply connected to the divine. This is the path of true spiritual maturity—where we find ourselves at home in both the visible and the invisible, in the old and the new.
