God's Eternal Contract

Scripture

Psalm 139:1–4 (NIV)

You have searched me, Lord,

and you know me.

You know when I sit and when I rise;

you perceive my thoughts from afar.

You discern my going out and my lying down;

you are familiar with all my ways.

Before a word is on my tongue

you, Lord, know it completely.

Refrain

God receives me fully. I am redeemed in being seen.

Quote

Richard Rohr, from The Universal Christ

"God is a mirror big enough to receive everything,

and every single part of you,

just as it is,

rejecting nothing,

adjusting nothing.

Whatever is fully received in this Mirror

is by that very fact 'redeemed.'

God always sees and loves God in you.

It seems like God has no choice.

This is God's eternal and unilateral contract with the soul."
