Embracing God and Creation by Robert Ricciardelli

A spiritual person is one who holds both God and creation in thoughtful and loving embrace. Aware of God's love for humanity, those who are Spirit led will hurt at injustice, live in God's own pain over the ills of humanity, and share in the pain and suffering of others. They are compelled to take action, their greatest passion is compassion, and their greatest strength is love and the defiance of despair.
