CLEAN IT UP WITHIN...WHERE GOD IS

The works that the Father has given me to complete, the very works that I am doing, testify on my behalf that the Father has sent me. – John 5:36

I read that recently, and it has been perc'ing in my thoughts ever since. It is quoted as Jesus's, but what, in fact, if it applies to me...to me right now? If that be true, it clearly behooves me to clean up what I'm doing...or thinking at any rate. Unfortunately, my ego-based reasoning mind doesn't know what my intellect  does know; i.e., loose it and let it go, do not touch the tar baby else the tar will get all over you, etc. 

Not always, not even very often, but whenever it chooses, the memory of an ugly will come back dressed up as what we need to do to set her straight, pay him back, make them sorry (but in the kindest possible way for their own good, of course). 

Here's the good news...we can know that our stepped-on toes started with something we put out there. We'd best choose to ponder until we know what we put out there for that single fact shuts the ego's prattle down more effectively than anything else. It does not necessarily make us love the outcome but it does make it our responsibility to clean it up in our own thoughts within, not by our own words without. For that's how wars begin, and there is no God there.

Thank You.
