GOD CAN AND WILL, AND WE LET HIM

When (in this lifetime or the next) we make a decision to choose still more spiritual growth, we become willing to crash and burn in order to get free of our own self. Then, lo! and whoa!, we learn that "crash and burn" is simply the need for Lucy, our ego, to bow before a higher power. From that moment until three days after we're dead, that "simply" will be our bane and our gold.

It's our hard lesson a' learning that there is but one choice, one need, and that is to trust God and do something about something...simultaneously and joyfully. (And whistling in the dark is but musical prayer so it counts.)

The glory hallelujah, great God almighty, news is in that instant of choice we receive the gift of grace whether we know it or not. Not knowing is Lucy linking up with our reasoning mind and refusing to give over to God. There is the trap, and it is built solely of fear. Then we recall, based on our own experience, that God can and will intervene in our life on our behalf.

Gratefully, we let him.

Thank you.
