When we feel resistance from anyone for any reason, we know (from our eyebrows up anyway) to move closer to him, to prepare a place for her and assure her peace...in our own mind. We have learned that we will need to fight our ego every step of the way to even head in the right direction if that is our honest goal.
Refreshing my own memory this morning: We do not curry favor, we do not pretend love while thinking pay-back. That is all of the material mind...the reasoning mind...through which ego operates. That mind is clever, conniving, manipulative and wants only good for us, the singular me. There is no you, or other, in the ego-victory mind to embrace only to resist.

We cannot get to God on our own brain power because we only have our own facts; i.e., I've been done wrong (1) through no fault of my own...or (2) and it's all my fault, always was always will be, there is no hope.
Each of those choices leads to victimhood from which self-centered fear is born. There. Right there God stands at the door and knocks...to be let out, to be released. Loose him and let him go!
Open! Detach! Cling to nothing...fly!
Thank you.
Thank you.
