Hope you had a great day...
Do you remember the thought from yesterday about our broken places being an open door for God's grace to invade our lives afresh???
Well, look what came in today from Fr Richard Rohr...
I am sure this is just a coincidence -- right...
"How does one incorporate imperfection?
In a Navajo rug there is always one clear imperfection woven into the pattern. And interestingly enough, this is precisely where the Spirit moves in and out of the rug! The Semitic mind, the Eastern mind (which, by the way, Jesus would have been much closer to) understands perfection in precisely that way. The East is much more comfortable with paradox, mystery, and non-dual thinking than the Western mind which is formed by Greek logic.
Perfection is not the elimination of imperfection, as we think. Divine perfection is, in fact, the ability to recognize, forgive, and include imperfection!—just as God does with all of us. Only in this way can we find the beautiful and hidden wholeness of God underneath the passing human show. It is the gift of non-dual thinking and seeing, which itself is a gift of love, suffering, and grace. In fact, this is the radical grace that grounds all holy seeing and doing."
WOW!!!
How liberating...
My broken places are a showcase for God's glory...
The cracks in my pot are the entry points for God's presence...
My imperfections are the opportunity to experience his perfection...
GOOD NEWS [at least for all of us broken people]...
Pax et bonum...

The cracks in the pot are not only entry points for God to get through. They are places that he can fill with his presence.
