Hard Times

Today we had our Friend’s meeting for worship, an hour of meditative prayer and silence, interspersed with people speaking occasionally when they felt a calling to do so. For some reason, during my meditation, I kept reflecting on, what I see as, dark, hard or troubled times coming in our future and also the words of George Fox when he said "I saw the infinite love of God. I saw that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love which flowed over the ocean of darkness. In that also I saw the infinite love of God; and I had great openings" I too have sensed that "infinite ocean of light and love" and know that it will prevail, regardless. I also know that I will do my part — though I have no idea what that will be! Understanding is not required.
