"...the gaze of God receives us exactly as we are, without judgment or distortion....Being totally received as we truly are is what we wait and long for all our lives. All we can do is receive and return the loving gaze of God every day, and afterwards we will be internally free and deeply happy at the same time. The One who knows all has no trouble including, accepting, and forgiving all. Soon we who are gazed upon so perfectly can pass on the same accepting gaze to all others who need it. There is no longer any question 'Does he or she deserve it?' What we received was totally undeserved itself."-Richard Rohr

Such a feeling of love came over me after doing this reading.  It is so easy to get caught up with the blame game but the truth is that God loves me no matter what as He does to ALL people even ones who hurt me or mine.  There is no need to feel negativity, jealousy, or competition.  God loves us all and wants us all to be happy-no matter what. Peace.
