TRUST BUT VERIFY

My most difficult lesson alearning has been to trust the God I love so much...or is it that I profess to love so much? As was said of the Russians, I say of the God of my understanding, "Trust but verify."

My God is pretty much a straight shooter today. Early days, however...with my ego Lucy as his translator? Hoo-boy.

But that's how we learn the necessity of  talking to others, learn to run our high-flown ideas by one or more people. Sitting alone talking only to our self, we get some real corkers...trouble is, some of them may be truth. I say "trouble is," when actually that's the good news. On our own we cannot tell the difference between ego-centered pap and God calling...that's what opens us to others, allows us to ask for another's insights. It's our asking another that lets God slide in.

I have learned to trust God today...and still I verify. I have become vigilant. I believe there are only two things with me 24/7...one is God, the other is Lucy. Lucy is smaller today than she once was, but I've lost weight before, too....

Thank you.
