Reading the old monks again today!

“Our doing is meant to come from our being. I-Am precedes I-do. We are, therefore we do. We often get the two out of order especially in cultures which value do, above be. When doing is divorced from being, we strive into spiritual tiredness.

Those who have an I-am spirituality are easy to spot. They already know they are adored, accepted loved, and welcomed. So, free to give that friendship space to others.

When they do things, it is always flowing from that knowing union space with God’s Sabbath with Himself. What St Paul called being caught up in the Sonship of Christ. We are meant to be diligent in entering that intimate rest space between the Son and his Dad.”

An “I-Am” firstly, third century monk who obviously had a fatherhood friendship spirituality.

When people are in that deep Rest of knowing symbolized and lived out by and in Sabbath (that is, Father’s rest in Himself), it’s obvious by its fruits of Peace and concern without worry.

Love people who have an “I-am” spirituality! They are always the most authentic because they are resting in that knowing of Love which gently calls our secret names forth-both being loved and free to love others. They are truly helpful in shaky times.

I-Am into I do still makes sense to me in terms of the basics of spiritual practice. Does it to you? We are, therefore we do. Not the other way around. Let’s be diligent to enter that space of Restful knowing.
