It's gray out there...foggy...rainy...and my heart is singing "Oh, What A Beautiful Morning." All because of resentments. More specifically, all because I know not to fight a resentment, but to welcome it.
I must needs avail my thoughts, myself, by my own will, to God's purification...mainly, because I know full well that God is not going to enter my brain, wash it clean and await further directions. God knows I've been given the manual of all I need or will ever need to do His bidding, God will leave me to use that manual to take the necessary action...and by that action my thoughts will be purified.
I am so grateful that I do know any self-determined objective of giving over to the Resentee will not work in purifying my thoughts, my Soul. That only keeps the resentment (and my idea of the Resentee's wrong!) fully in focus and operating. The manual tells me to do for others, keep others as my focus, and not a single other...others.
I must become transparent to others (for it is impossible to become transparent to one or two but remain opaque toward all the rest). I am either transparent or I am not; and, most important: know that transparency cannot be self-willed.
I have the words, by grace I live them...which is another thing that can't be self-willed.
Thank You.
