How can we not lose our souls
when everything and everybody pulls us in the most different directions? How can
we "keep it together" when we are constantly torn apart?
Jesus says: "Not a hair of your
head will be lost. Your perseverance will win you your lives" (Luke
21:18-19).
We can only survive our world
when we trust that God knows us more intimately than we know ourselves. We can
only keep it together when we believe that God holds us together. We can only
win our lives when we remain faithful to the truth that every little part of us,
yes, every hair, is completely safe in the divine embrace of our Lord.
To say it differently: When we
keep living a spiritual life, we have nothing to be afraid of.
- Henri Nouwen
Jesus is our Way of "keeping it
together".
