Who are we in God’s eyes?
My sense of who I am in God’s eyes is being simplified as I
settle into retirement. It is being stripped of things which I once thought
were so important: productivity, accomplishment, projects, plans, hopes and
dreams, or what I am “worth” in the eyes of others.
Actually I’m getting closer to the truth of things during
this process, a truth which has always been there but which had been hidden
beneath all the stuff which doesn’t matter so much any more.
I must confess,
however, that part of me is hoping that I will be led to doing something
wonderful, so it’s obvious that the process of purification is only just
beginning. And even if I do end up doing something wonderful, that will not
make me appear any bigger, more important, more perfect or more loveable in
God’s eyes. I already have that all, and so do you. More about this next time.
