“Grace and mercy teach us that we are all much larger than
the good or bad stories we tell about ourselves or about one another. Please
don’t get caught in your small stories; they are usually less than half true,
and therefore not really ‘true’ at all. They’re usually based on hurts and
unconscious agendas that allow us to see and judge things in a very selectrive
way. They’re not the whole You, not the Great You, not the Great River.
Therefore it is not where your big life can really happen. No wonder the Spirit
is described as ‘flowing like water’ and ‘a spring inside you’... or, at the
end of the Bible, as a ‘river of life’.... Strangely, your real life is not
about ‘you.’ It is a part of a much larger stream called God.
