Today’s Most Important Challenge is…
• Becoming the person God sees me as
• Whether or not Others
• Or I
• Like it
Held In Scripture (Hosting Ignatian Spirituality)
Continued from Right On Sinning
I see Jesus.
He is… open-hearted.
The violence
Done to Him
Broke His heart
But it did not
Destroy it
Instead
It revealed it
Clarified it
Glorified it
I see myself.
I realize
That the ability
To choose vulnerability
In the face of my enemies
Is the superpower
I most need
Want
Fear
I look to Our Father.
I ask:
“How do I gain
The superpower
Of not fearing
To be known?”
Our Father
Stretches out
His closed fist
Towards me
And opens it
To say:
“With this ring!”
To be continued

Scripture
“Lord, you know everything there is to know about me. You perceive every movement of my heart and soul, and you understand my every thought before it even enters my mind.
Psalms 139:1–5 TPT
You are so intimately aware of me, Lord. You read my heart like an open book and you know all the words I’m about to speak before I even start a sentence!
You know every step I will take before my journey even begins. You’ve gone into my future to prepare the way, and in kindness you follow behind me to spare me from the harm of my past.
You have laid your hand on me!”
