love

“Solitude eventually offers a quiet gift of grace, a gift that comes whenever we are able to face ourselves honestly; the gift of acceptance, of compassion, for who we are, as we are. As we allow ourselves to be known in solitude, we discover that we are known by love. Beyond the pain of self-discovery there is a love that does not condemn us but calls us to itself. This love receives us as we are.”
Parker Palmer

Spend some time today pondering this quote. Do you know you are ‘known by love’? Have you experienced the love that “calls us to itself”? The love that “receives us as we are”? Rest in that beautiful thought.

Peace,
