Is my spiritual growth any of my business? I’m guessing it
is, but maybe the depth and the breadth are entirely up to the Father
within/without. It may be that my job is to simply make myself available to the
Father, My Spirit, and keep on trucking.
I’m wondering this right now because my quiet time this
morning has been all over the place…anywhere but here and now and anything but
quiet. As in, in my mind, I lectured a group on the spiritual nature
of anonymity, got an ex-boss told off (an ex-boss from 23 years ago!),
and felt another sermon arising when the words to Let It
Be came to me: “When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes
to me…speaking words of wisdom, ‘Let it be, oh, let it be.’” That’s when I
realized I was waaay off track…that song has been my bellwether for a long
time…it tells me when I’m totally into self, in deep and sinking fast in
other words.
So, I say my “Thank You” and believe that my job is to
make myself available to God and trust that life by grace is already mine, not
to hold onto (i.e., for my protection), but for me to show forth.
Grace does
not stick to us, it passes through us for another’s benefit…and thus for
ours.
Sometimes I’ll feel it and sometimes I won’t. A good
reminder that feelings are not facts…also that just because I don’t feel it, doesn’t mean
it is not so.
Thank You.
