MY HEAVY LIFT

Regrets are just resentments in fancy dress. At least they are to me. Regret keeps our focus turned inward blaming our self; resentment keeps our focus turned outward looking for someone to blame.

My test: When I'm into my rues, regrets and remorses, all I need do is picture you as their source...all gone before my heart beats twice. Unfortunately, I am instantly heavy duty peeved at you...and justifying it.

I am the source of all my woes. I am the answer I seek. 

I long ago learned both of those truths in my search for still more spiritual growth. It was obvious that there was no way my reasoning mind would get me there. I might get the gist, but the actual realization? Not likely.

Here's the really good news...my "regrets are resentments" came to me this morning when I was regretting something. I picked up my God Calling, and today's first words? "Regret nothing," and I recognized my regret/resentment as an angel aborning.

Don't tell me God isn't with me, within me, all-knowing, and perfectly capable of telling me exactly what I need to hear.

I know I am blessed, and I am grateful...it's remembering it that is my heavy lift.

Thank you.
