Defining Your Life through God
Blog post by Mary Katherine May
Sharp corners may be difficult to negotiate...
Every person needs a framework for life, what that is
individually unique. There is the square peg with four equal sides defined by
sharp corners which may be difficult to negotiate.
Thinking about this, it seems to me that a circle is just as
defining as a square. Movement across (diameter) is the same in all directions.
The flow around the border is able to move without changing course. Moving to
the center, I can see in all directions clearly. From its borders I am always
in the same relationship to the core.
The circle is the symbol for the universal and in that sense
represents limitless possibilities. There is its association with wholeness and
stability.
At the core of my circle is God, defined through the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the perfect core is perfect peace no matter what is going on and changing.
I look in and there is safety and hope, I look out and
marvel at the power and magnitude of all creation. Inside the circle I find
rest and outside of it I draw from its strength.
The experience is so great that it cannot be defined by
words and welcomes all who will come.
