God Will Find Us – Quote of the Week

November 1, 2014 By Jean Wise

healthyspirituality.org

I happen to believe that “if you are looking for God, God will find you.”

Ignatius of Loyola or Mother Teresa would have likewise believed that even as we are looking, and even when we mostly feel lost, God is somehow finding us, whether or not it feels that way to us.

Ignatius believed (as I do) that when we set ourselves toward some worthy purpose that transcends our meager strength, we tap into a source of meaning, strength, peace, and courage that is beyond us.

We come to realize, in a graced moment, that we are called to some great purpose, that we cannot do it on our own, but that we don’t have to do it on our own.

That’s why Ignatius urges, in one after another of his Spiritual Exercises, that we speak to Jesus “in the way one friend speaks to another.”

—Excerpted from Heroic Leadership by Chris Lowney

    Hi Jeanie! I hope you are enjoying your travels my friend.
    And as I speak to you, I am to speak to Jesus. I think it’s true that he wants a deeper, more connected way of knowing him. I hope I can continue to grow closer and closer.
    Blessings always!
