-- Confucius
Just this morning I was reminded of Paul's statement, "When I am weak, I am strong." I recognized that as the basis of my belief that welcoming our worst fear (as opposed to resisting it) is living a turned-over-to-God life...whatever God wills is fine by me.
When it is obvious that a goal cannot be achieved, don't change the goal, adjust the action steps means the same thing to me. For example, I realize my goal cannot be achieved...say, I cannot change my mind on my unaided own ("I am weak"). My action step is to turn in gratitude to my father within who can and will change my mind...maybe to something better, maybe to acceptance of what is just as it is ("I am strong").
It is our resistance that holds our fear to us; welcoming it (kissing our fear on the lips) is our invitation to God to do with it as he chooses.
By-the-by, my angel Ari once told me that "kiss your fear on the lips" is just jive for "Thy will, not mine, be done." I'm good with that.
Thank you.
