Dear Fellow Travelers,
Realizing that you probably think I am stuck on de Mello’s books, I am, nevertheless, going to offer another quote from “The Song of the Bird” (p. 67-68): “I was a neurotic for years. I was anxious and depressed and selfish. Everyone kept telling me to change. I resented them, and I agreed with them, and I wanted to change, but simply couldn’t, no matter how hard I tried. What hurt the most was that, like the others, my best friend kept insisting that I change. So I felt powerless and trapped. Then, one day, he said to me, ‘Don’t change. I love you just as you are.’ Those words were music to my ears: ‘Don’t change. Don’t change. Don’t change. . . I love you as you are.’ I relaxed. I came alive. And suddenly I changed! Now, I know that I couldn’t really change until I found someone who would love me whether I changed or not.”
If I am not mistaken (and in this instance, I am not!), this is the way God loves us! Thankfully, we do not have to change in order to gain His love; He loves us because He is love and that is what love does.
Anyone who takes ownership of this incredible truth, anyone who believes that God is not requiring him/her to change in order to gain His love, does, indeed, change, so much so, as to come alive and really live.
Stop trying to be someone you are not. Stop trying to change to accommodate someone’s desires, to earn their love and acceptance. Accept the fact that those who really love you, love you as you are—whether you change or not.
God does and you can count on it!
That is good news—really good news!
