Becoming Human: How Empathy Empowers Healing & Community
Recent psychological studies show that empathy is the key factor within healing therapeutic relationships. And many traditions emphasize that God(dess) sees and cares about us as a Divine Friend, and that our ability to empathize is gifted to us and can be further empowered by reflecting the Divinity within and around us.
God's Humility Allows for Our Salvation
In this message, we reflect on how scriptures describe God’s humility and how that empowering quality allows him/her to meet us where we’re at and uplift us toward heavenly peace and goodness. The open Christianity at the root of our Swedenborgianism tells us that not only are both man and woman made in God’s image and likeness, but all good and grand things in the universe are empowered by him/her. Despite such majesty, the Lord awaits and empowers our goodness with patience and kindness: he sets our path straight where we allow him to with Divine Humility. A humility that we’re asked to reflect back for our own spiritual well-being.
