Speakers & Events – Bishop Spong| Look at him! | ||||||
| Look not at his divinity, | ||||||
| but look rather, at his freedom. | ||||||
| Look not at the exaggerated tales of his power, | ||||||
| but look, rather, at his infinite capacity to give himself away. | ||||||
| Look not at the first-century mythology that surrounds him, | ||||||
| But look, rather, at his courage to be, | ||||||
| His ability to live, and | ||||||
| The contagious quality of his love. | ||||||
| Stop your frantic search! | ||||||
| Be still and know that this is God: | ||||||
| this love, | ||||||
| this freedom, | ||||||
| this life , | ||||||
| this being: | ||||||
| And | ||||||
| when you are accepted, accept youself; | ||||||
| when you are forgiven, forgive yourself: | ||||||
| when you are loved, love yourself. | ||||||
| Grasp that Christpower | ||||||
| And dare to be | ||||||
| Yourself! | ||||||
