Around the time of my previous post, I had just been received into the
Orthodox church. Since then I have found it to be everything I was
looking for, and a great deal more. There is such a wealth of wisdom,
going back thousands of years. And it was all there, un-seen, un-read,
as far as I was concerned not existing at all! It seems impossible to me
that I was so unaware of these treasures by chance.
</p>
<p>
Father Seraphim Rose, Saint Paisios, Saint Porphyrios, Elder Thaddeus of
Vitovnica - to name only a few! - lived in this world, recently. They
speak plainly and lovingly about modern and familiar concerns. Their
example and guidance are a priceless treasure! And not only they help
me, but participating in the tradition of the Orthodox Church has… I
don’t even know how to say it all. I have experienced how the prodigal
son felt when he took a few trembling steps back to his father, and
instead of the rejection or anger he had earned, he received joyful,
unearned forgiveness. His father <em>ran</em> to him while he was still
far away!
</p>
<p>
Here is what I know, now from experience: Jesus Christ is life and truth
and love. To look for life, or truth, or love apart from Him is
pointless! It’s a contradiction, like looking for light by marching into
the shadows. God made me, and He loves me more than I love myself.
Because this is true, I want to do everything His way, even if I don’t
understand it at first.
