One of the greatest dangers in the spiritual life is self-rejection. When we say, « If people really knew me, they wouldn’t love me, » we choose the road toward darkness.
Often we are made to believe that self-deprecation is a virtue, called humility. But humility is in reality the opposite of self-deprecation. It is the grateful recognition that we are precious in God’s eyes and that all we are is pure gift. To grow beyond self-rejection we must have the courage to listen to the voice calling us God’s beloved sons and daughters, and the determination always to live our lives according to this truth. |

J’adore ce texte et tout mon intérieur dit OUI , le chemin est parfois long pourtant pour en venir a cette reconnaissance
En effet cela peut-être très long et parfois cela peut m’arriver encore !!
