My Very Core

Sometimes I don't whether to write as if I have an audience or not... interesting... to think for one second that someone would be interested in following what I take the time to spit out on my computer... some form of vanity? Hope? Disillusion? Hahaha... in anycase... the revelations of my life continue.

It amazes me the beauty of sitting in the presence of Him who created the heavens and the earth... if only we could grasp an ounce of that reality... of His Beauty... Himself.

How easy it is for us to go about day by day, hour by hour, complacent and choosingly ignorant to our purpose... the very core of our creation...

To give Him glory... and how do we do that? My mom always told me as a kid that imitation was the greatest form of flattery and how very true it is... in imitating God we glorify Him... Deus Caritas Est... we are to love... for this we were created.

Not to love conveniently or half-heartedly. Not to choose whom we love or how. Not to qualify how we give ourselves or to do so in order to benefit in any way. It is such a simple concept. The potential cornerstone on which to build sainthood.

Why are we such self centered people? Why is everything about us, about me? I view my life as though everything revolves around me... cliche' but disgustingly accurate. That seems to be the root... but what exactly is it... to fight against something, it needs to be understood.

Sweet One, enlighten my heart.
