Counter point

"Fundamental change is not a casual occurrence. We cannot casually commit to the process of spiritual transformation...Our entire being is called to the task, for the journey from density to light involves every aspect of who we are." Marianne Williamson
This quote was on Kelley's (Mama Monk's) blog. I was struck because is seemed like the exact opposite idea from the one expressed in the MacDonald quote that meant so much to me. Yet I think MacDonald would completely agree, as do I. I want to be transformed, to be pulled up and out of where I am. It's the classic and beautiful mystery about my job/God's job in my spiritual formation. I think, taken together, these quotes help me strike a good balance.
