Ikigai Thought for Today: Consoling Angels
When we need some inspiration.
Audio narration by David Marlow
A friend struggled this past weekend and asked for some inspiration and prayer.
I’ve often found myself in similar need and received comfort from this by Henri Nouwen, which is both.
"In the midst of the sorrows is consolation, in the midst of the darkness is light, in the midst of despair is hope, in the midst of Babylon is a glimpse of Jerusalem, and in the midst of the army of demons is the consoling angel."
This has been in my thought library for many years. If you need inspiration and encouragement, I hope it speaks to you today. If you don’t need it today, I hope you’ll save this for a time when you do.
And if it did speak to you, share it with someone who needs to hear it.
Speaks to me David because of the history of the Jewish Nation and what they have endured due to much they committed onto themselves and other nations as most of humankind. When we give up on God....He allows the powers of evil in for a greater lesson. In the midst of our self-inflictions is God's grace. He does not give up on us....we give up on Him! Stay committed to what matters and we find out during this start of Lent (Ash Wednesday today) that Memento Mori (Remember we will die or death) so choose wisely how to live!
Highly relevent...as per the norm David...thanks for the reshare on this day 🙏👩🍳🤌
