I read my friend Mac's wonderful Reflection yesterday in which he quoted Teresa of Avila saying we are God's hands and feet. I love that reminder. I try to remember that being God's hands and feet, we are also God's voice, God's very representative on this earth.
Sometimes I represent Him better than other times, but the fact that I can know that to be true is God's grace. Which means that when I'm representing me, my ego-victory self-will in the lead, God's grace is the only thing that can turn me around, head me back in the right direction.
Willingness is the key to that happening, and it is on me to maintain it...to maintain a willing head, heart, soul. That is my best reason for having my quiet time, my reflect on God's grace time, early every morning...to bring my ego-victory self back into alignment with God's will.
Again, I am reminded: Ego always legislates for itself, and God always serves us all. Which includes any and all perceived friends, foes, and don't-counts...God serves us all.
Thank You.
