When you live in God...

"When you live in God, your day begins when you open your eyes, though you have done nothing yourself to open them, and you take your first breath, though there is no reason

why this life-giving breeze should be given to you and not to some other. In the dark or

in the light, with a stone slab under your back, or a feather topper, your day begins

when you let God hold you because you do not have the slightest idea how to hold

yourself--when you let God raise you up, when you consent to rest to show you get the

point, since that is the last thing you would do if you were running the show yourself.

When you live in God, your day begins when you lose yourself long enough for God to find

you, and when God finds you, to lose yourself again in praise."

~Barbara Brown Taylor, An Altar in the World
