With Honesty

Moving with Honesty to Realization

I’ve been playing with light

thinking I was making Spiritual progress.

I’ve been exploiting mystical ideas

and experiences

for my own delight.

I did not realize

that the purpose of

all I have experienced and learned and written

was to make me a servant

of Divine Love

in action in the world.

I did not realize that

Grace has indeed opened

Divine Realms for me

in order that

I can be devoted and humble enough

to dedicate

all my thoughts, emotions, actions, and resources

to helping others

awaken to their own inner Divinity

and responsibility for Sacred Action.

I now feel the call

to jump into the furnace

of God as Love

that embraces all things,

to give the rest of my life

to spread and embody

the passion of

God as Love,

which lies within every human heart.

I know I must take up the challenge

and live in and spread

Divine Compassion,

God as Love.
