yeah the study

Chew on this one....


Anthony De Mello told this story:

“A monk in his early travels once found a precious stone and kept it. One day he met a traveler, and when the monk opened the bag to share his provisions with him, the traveler saw the jewel and asked the monk to give it to him. The monk did so readily. The traveler departed, overjoyed with the unexpected gift of the precious stone that was enough to give him wealth and security for the rest of his life. However, a few days later he come back in search of the monk, found him, and gave him back the stone and entreated him, ‘now give me something much more precious with this stone, valuable as it is. Give me that which enabled you to give it to me.’”


I want that. I want the love and gift of mercy and grace that only God can give. I desire that in my life. I want to be able to give like God gave to me....
