Grant what thou commandest and then command what thou wilt. -- Saint Augustine
Every time I come across that quote, I feel uplifted...more like relieved, actually.
It says to me that the battle really is not mine, but God's. Same goes with glory...the glory really is not mine, but God's.
That which I mentally wrestle with at any given time of any given day is just a shadow on the wall...I can believe my shadows represent anything I choose, but I get to keep in mind that they are just shadows.
Not real.
Not of God.
My own picture show...change the channel or get some popcorn and a Pepsi, relax and enjoy.
The best part is always the surprise ending...whether I'm tuned into a mystery or a sitcom, my best thinking for the ending is rarely what happens. This is where my attitude of gratitude comes on strong...whatever the ending to my eyes, gratitude can make it better.
Thank You.
