The ancient Celtic Christians understood well the experience of God as emergent in absolutely everything and everyone. It can be transforming to grasp the reality of the Presence in the minutiae of life.
Especially transforming is when one can grasp that God wants to be revealed in and through each of us. The experience of God can quench the craving of your soul to be loved and accepted.
Everyone wants.... everyone needs to be loved, needs to know they are accepted for the gift they truly are to all of creation. It is part of the essence of being human. But we do so fight the truth that God wants or even can be revealed in and through us.
The miracle that amazes is not the possibility of resurrection. The miracle is in believing that our quest for acceptance will ever be realized. I would suggest that the barrier to living a grace-filled life of acceptance resides in our own reticence. Paul Tillich clarifies the matter. "You are accepted. All you have to do is accept the fact that you are accepted."
Just a thought,
P.C.
