In pondering the word “love” this morning, I'm trying to find an apt description for my understanding of it. Nonresistance may best fit it, the hook being that nonresistance cannot mean to do nothing in the face of evil. Some famous someone once said that all it takes for evil to prevail is for good people to do nothing.
Yes, but! What about the Sermon's "Resist not evil?"
Ah, here comes the sun: Resist not evil must take us into a higher consciousness...where we rest in the understanding that the Father knows our needs. That is the place we need live. We resist not in Love, which is not only the home of our inner Source, it IS our inner Source. Nonresistance, love, is what releases our higher power. That power we need to change an ugly appearing situation for the better is not in the reasoning mind but in our higher consciousness.
Resistance is reasoning mind, ever thinking, ever analyzing, ever keeping higher help at bay; nonresistance opens the door for our Source to flow forth (I stand at the door and knock).
In general, we don't live 24/7 in a state of higher consciousness, but that is exactly why we need to make our self available for God every morning. We set aside, say, fifteen minutes every morning to sit and wait on the Lord. That's my entire meditation...I've never felt lifted into a new dimension, but that's when I usually get any blinding flash of the obvious.
Sit and wait on the Lord -- found somewhere in the Bible.
Thank you.
