God said:
I have heard you cry out. I hear your words, and I hear your heart. I hear you say:
"Beloved God, You are the Prow of the Ship I ride on. You are the Bells That Toll. Yours is the Hand I hold. You make me safe. How can I fear when You are beside me? When I look away from You, I am made of nonsense and, so, foolishly, I wound myself on Earth.
"Teach me to love, God, for my heart is bare, and I am lonely. Stripped of love, I live in a deserted island of my own making. I withdraw. I don't really know what I am doing. I may be undoing.
"The question that stands out for me is:
"God, have I forsaken You?"
"Can it be that I have forsaken Your Heart and, therefore, my own heart, my imagined own heart? Do I simply flirt with life and stay all the while on shore?
"What do I chase and why? What ingredients of life do I think I must have that enrich my life further when there is You? What do I run from?
"Have I forsaken myself?"
My children, I answer you:
Every morning you set sail. You may be half-hearted about it. You dribble your fingers in the water. You may not even know where you have set sail for. Know now that you set sail for Me, for I call to you. I call to you to awaken to the Sun and follow the Stars. The Sun is a Star. Follow the Sun, and you will awaken to your Self. Your Self can hardly wait to wake up.
