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.
