135. Only FAITH Enables the Soul to Accept Everything That Happens to It: Abandonment to Divine Providence - Chapter 5

"I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. I will counsel you with my loving eye on you." ~Psalm 32: 8-9.

This week Johnna and I continue our summer series book study on Abandonment to Divine Providence. One of the struggles and traps of the Christian life is this deep sense of being far away from living the virtuous and spiritual life that God desires for us. When we recognize our frailty, and our sinful nature, we can mistakenly think this is a call to fix and 'perfect' our broken ways. Though we are called to turn away from sin and towards God, we can jump into control mode and block the way for Jesus and his graces to work in our life. In fact, Jean-Pierre De Caussade reminds us that maybe, just maybe, this is precisely the place where God wants us. 

"The harder we try to cure thee faults, the worst they get, for they are part of God's design in the best means of destroying self-love and preparing us for union with him."
