Our vision can be so murky. It’s one of the reasons that Julian urges us again and again to trust in God, she quotes us Proverbs 3:5, using different words – “Trust in the Lord with all your might… lean not on your own understanding.” In our blindness and ignorance, we can so easily believe and commit to lies instead of truth. All we have the power to do is admit that we might be deceived even by our best intentions, pray that we might learn to discern the difference, and then, trust God to answer these prayers, to make our paths straight.
This is inspired by the thirty-fourth chapter of Julian of Norwich's long text, Revelations of Divine Love.
