Recently, within a day or two, three different people raised the question of whether they needed the courage to change a situation or to accept it. The answer is that we cannot change anything that we haven't first fully accepted.
The very quandary keeps us attached to the problem.
And, if we learn nothing else in life, we must needs learn that acceptance is the answer to everything. It is that acceptance that opens us to God's perfect work being done in us and through us. This is how our foundation of faith is built...by God Itself doing for us what we cannot do for ourselves.
The very slow may think they have done this or that in the building...their only part was in making the decision to drop their self-will and to let God have at it.
May I quickly add that I am the self-appointed spokesperson for the very slow for I speak from experience, long and repeated experience...and, there, too, I am grateful.
Thank you.
