Now do you see why I rouse you to this spiritual work? You would have taken to it naturally had man not sinned, for man was created to love and everything else was created to make love possible. Nevertheless, by the work of contemplative love man will be healed. Failing in this work he sinks deeper into sin further and further from God, but by persevering in it he gradually rises from sin and grows in divine intimacy.<BR/> Therefore, be attentive to time and the way you spend it. Nothing is more precious. This is evident when you recall that in one tiny moment heaven may be gained or lost. God, the master of time, never gives the future. He gives only the present, moment by moment, for this is the law of the created order, and God will not contradict himself in his creation. Time is for man, not man for time. God, the Lord of nature, will never anticipate man's choices which follow one after another in time. Man will not be able to excuse himself at the last judgment, saying to God: "You overwhelmed me with the future when I was only capable of living in the present."The Cloud of Unknowinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18387214085222800882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-17524324458208109752008-10-30T18:17:00.000-04:002008-10-30T18:17:00.000-04:00Just wanted to say, "JUBILEE", is all.Just wanted to say, "JUBILEE", is all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-49902580340695686172008-10-30T17:12:00.000-04:002008-10-30T17:12:00.000-04:00thank you for the encouraging words tracythank you for the encouraging words tracyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-96114027914038785.post-85161133225897895352008-10-30T16:49:00.000-04:002008-10-30T16:49:00.000-04:00I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND Anon.

I am also glad you mentioned that movie, I have a friend, who had an athiest or agnostic who she has been friend's with her for a long time attack her verbally after watching that movie. I told her I would like to see it to know what it is all about and why someone who does not have a foundation would be angered to the point of attacking someone who I know has only acted in love and has only respected this other person and their lack of belief. I just told my friend just love her, your response is important and will feed her attack if not handled by how the Holy Spirit tells you to respond. Of course we went in to all the deep things too.
