My handwritten note in my daily Easwaran reader this day: "2003 - on 7/3 I asked for 'a state of listening consciousness' and on 7/4/13 I was gifted with: 'You've got the power.'" And all year whenever I've gotten stuck in thought, word or deed, I've consciously reminded God, "You got the power...use it."
This morning the question hit me: Do I have this bass-ackward...again? Is this, instead, God telling me I've got the power not me telling him?
Thinking it through, I don't see that it makes a lot of difference...because every time I remind him that he has the power, use it, I'm the one who gets to walk forward and do it.
It is my reasoning mind that doubts I can do it (and rightly so!). It is the power greater than myself within me that I must turn to first who then walks me through.
And then only if it is his will....
Thank you.
