I have this image
that God gives me
When we see a mountain stream
when we go up higher and closer to the source,
the stones
are sharper and sharper
And when we go down to the plain
the water brings down the stone and the get more and more polished
as we can see it here on the river bed of the Durance, the stones are well rounded and smooth.
As Christians we can come to this state only by the water,
the water symbolizes the Word.
It is by diving in to the Word and by letting ourselves
being scoured by this Word that God gives us
that we can become polished
and rounded
so that
our heart were not
filled with asperities. This is what hurts. That is what the asperities do but when the stones
are rounded
they are really smooth to touch.
God wants to polish us by His Word.
He invites us
to dive more and more in His Word so that we could really be polished by It.
