GO TO GOD FOR GOD...THAT IS ALL

Would you rather be right or would you rather be happy? This question has been making the rounds for decades now. The tripwire is when we answer, "Both!"  That is the point where "right" becomes the mud that we pick up and sling in our own face. To have both requires someone else to be wrong. Proving to him his wrongness and letting others know not how right we were but how wrong she was becomes our obsession. 

It is our reasoning mind that clings to the fantasy of being right and happy. It is the reasoning mind that fights the reality that agreeing with our adversary quickly brings peace of mind.  

I am convinced that we will not accept the reality over the fantasy because the fantasy is so present...here, now. The reality, peace of mind, takes time...God's own time. 

First, we must be willing to change our minds, then we must turn to God to do that! We swear if we could change our minds just like flipping a switch, we'd do it. Imagine the surprise of learning that when we discipline ourselves to first go to God, it really is like flipping a switch. 

I don't have to imagine that trying for "right and happy" is a short cut to misery, self-pity and a sense that something is wrong...which, of course, leads to trying to find someone to blame.

When we learn to go to God for God...and that is all...we can and will be right and happy for we will have ceased fighting anything and anybody.

Thank you.
