relationship — our physical and spiritual condition, personality, connection to reality, our participation in

about, wandering, seeking, questioning, questing, acceptance of God, rejection of God — and our emotional and mental status: hate /
love, anger / peace, sadness / happiness, hurt / health, feeling lost and abandoned / feeling found and included, agitation / serenity, apathy / passion, confusion / clarity, fractures / wholeness — all of this, all of whoever we
are and have ever
been and every action committed or ever contemplated and every thought we ever explored or entertained or that flitted through our mind — all of this, we bring to the God / person
relationship and God accepts the totality of who we
are and every component that comprises who we
are — as a gift.
