“To act as though one believes in the goodness of God is to relinquish one’s need for the security of rightness. It is to trust the power of God’s transforming love for ourselves and others, even through our mistaken attempts at love. It is to seek the good from the deepest place of love and to trust God in the seeking, in its outcome. It is to stand in the emptiness of unknowing, having no measure of love, no adequate gift of our love. Only love’s gesture remains.”
-Rose Mary Dougherty, Trusting Love: An Undefended Heart, p. 38
