Spirituality of Creation

“Now here's something that's really key in understanding spiritual life. It takes two. It takes two. God doesn't force himself upon us. God doesn't ram his spiritual life into us. In fact, he reveals his grace and love to us purely as a gift that we don't actually deserve, and then through our simple act of faith and trust, we actually receive that gift of grace into our very being. And through this union of God's grace, mysteriously, God's grace and our little bit of faith, spiritual life is conceived. There's a beginning point to your spiritual life. … He's saying that there's, it takes two, it takes the Holy Spirit revealing God's love in Jesus to us and then just the tiniest bit of trust and faith in our part.”
