I'm currently reading Eat, Pray, and Love by Elizabeth Gilbert (http://www.elizabethgilbert.com/eatpraylove.htm). So far, it is an excellent book!
Anyway, in the first part, Gilbert is describing time when she was questioning why she was married to her husband. Every night, after he was asleep, she would go into the bathroom and cry. During one of these sessions, she hears God speak to her for the first time. After painting this scene, she goes on to describe how she views God. This is the part that really grabbed me.
"And while I do love that great teacher of peace who was called Jesus, and while I do reserve the right to ask myself in certain trying situations what indeed He would do, I can't swallow that one fixed rule of Christianity insisting that Christ is the only path to God."
Ok, so that is established. I completely agree with that. Spirituality is personal; therefore, each person experiences it differently.
But, here is my favorite part:
"God is an experience of supreme love."
That's just fantastic! I whole-heartedly agree!
