"And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light"
Mat 17:3
If God charged Peter, James and John to listen to his son ... and the Son is One with God ... and both God and the Son and mankind share in the Holy Spirit ... then listening to family should be easy. Funny, but deep listening is rarely easy, as most people are already thinking of what to say next.
God was before us, is with us now and shall be long after we are gone, the alpha and omega, the creater of all that is and shall ever be, et cetera. Listen.
The noise i hear, the jabbering in my head, the ideas, the impulses, the moods, the endless stream of distractions are of the material world, this world of flesh and blood. And while it may all seem important, yea, even of life and death, it's all still an illusion ... because this is not our true nature. We are beings made in the image of God. True Reality is a face that shines like the sun. Light. Love. Endless grace. Forgiveness again and again and again. Though the noise in my head distracts me from this Truth, may i still my relentless and fearful ego and in the quiet of my mind, hear the words of God. And perhaps know an epiphany.
Peace. Patience. Hope. Faith practised through Love. May your face too, shine like the sun.
