There are two sentences that, no matter how often I read them, electrify me. For I know them as pure truth. I know and I know I know, and I knew upon first reading them: The first, Most important is the discovery that all my problems can be solved by spiritual principles; and the second, Love will break down all my difficulties.
The third electrifier, the spiritual life is not a theory...we must live it, explains why the first two are useless if we're just being electrified in thought by them...useless unless we are actually living them.
Loving the unlovable, accepting the unacceptable...there it is. That is my quandary today. I'm half wrestling with my recent descent into pain when I admit my faith was about a quart low. I did not doubt God, nor the existence of God in my life...I doubted myself, my ability (my desire?) to get out of self and into God when all I really wanted was for the pain to stop.
My doctor's instructions are to rest, rest, rest and drink gallons of water. This will give me plenty to go to God with. The hardest part about going to God, of course, is the constant need to pull my own thoughts back...and that, too, is done with love. Hug 'em and kiss 'em and let 'em go crazy, then continue listening for God.
Thank you.
