With my whole heart I seek you. (Psalm 119: 10)
In seeking God we may also find our true selves. Apart from God - separated from a full understanding of reality - we are inclined to confusion. Together with God we are reconciled within our selves and to our context.
Yom Kippur begins at sundown this evening. This is the Jewish Day of Atonement. Tonight and tomorrow concludes ten days of reflection, repentence, and renewal. By reclaiming a whole heart we might become at-one with God.
While introspection is a crucial aspect of atonement, so is moral action. Wholeness requires engagement with all of God's reality. In the struggle and sacrifice of daily life our weakness may be reconciled with our strength. In a liturgy of living we may finally come to experience our intended selves, the real world, and our loving God.
