GOD WITHOUT BORDERS

You must know that I shall cause you no more pain in the doing of it than a physician, who plans and knows he can effect a cure, would cause his patient. -- "God Calling," August 27

We go into surgery knowing that this is going to hurt and it'll take time to feel better, but we go to God expecting an immediate healing without pain or even discomfort...joy is our expectation actually. 

The physician must cut through our physical body so we know this ain't going to be painless. We know and agree that it is going to take time to heal and there is no easy way...plus, it is going to cost us actual dollars.

We pray fully expecting any change to be painless, not only painless but to feel good, not just good but exhilarating in fact...and we'll know peace into the bargain. We ignore the fact that God must cut through our free (self) will, our ego, our fear, and that that cutting only happens by our letting go..by our opening ourselves to God without borders.

This is when we learn that letting go of self-anything feels like we are stripping ourselves of our own skin. We also learn that the sooner we become willing to feel the pain and do it anyway the sooner the pain lessens, is transmuted...and we find that joyful exhilaration we were looking for.

Freedom from self...a whole new world.

Thank You.
