AGAIN...AND YET AGAIN

Another lesson learned...again. It is impossible to offend God...or Jesus for that matter. I throw a temper tantrum, I rant, I rave, I stomp my feet and toss my curls...He hugs me, She kisses me, It tells me It loves me. You get a whole bunch like that on your side, you gotta feel loved.

I almost asked God to remove my resentment again when He hit me with the realization again that this is what I need:

• this resentment of; 
• this reacting in kind to; 
• this p.o.'d at; 
• this inventorying toward; 
• this justifying inward.

These are the bane of my heart and mind, my body and soul...they do and they will drive this car until I get out of the driver's seat. 

This is exactly the path I got to walk in getting free of me with my co-worker who treated me poorly...and we became friends. The path I walked in getting over taking myself too seriously for taking myself too seriously.

I get to truly accept that which I am resisting in the other, my opinion of her being wrong (a.k.a., me being right). This acceptance does not come by wanting, wishing, straining my mind...no, it comes in some manner predetermined by God through me and flowing out of me at the perfect time as the perfect gift to me...and the one I am resisting. I can only keep my focus on me, my bad behavior; i.e., my ego-victory thoughts, and praise those thoughts for they are leading me to complete defeat.

I thank God for sending me the other and her response to me, her opinion of the path I walk, her very being exactly as I perceive it to be right this very minute. They, wrapped in her body, are my angel straight from Heaven.

This may be realization, it may be words leading to realization. My heart is grateful that I know the way, and it is aiming me in the right direction.

Thank you.
