ACCEPTANCE, NONRESISTANCE, LOVE

Joy is the result of faithful trusting acceptance of My Will when It seems not joyous. * * * Expect rebuffs until this is learned -- it is the only way. - "God Calling," January 8

There it is, the reason why that little book, "God Calling," has been so important to me for so long...and will continue to be, please and thank you. It boils down all the fancy-schmancy spiritually high-consciousness baloney that flows so freely from me to me...boils it down and puts the period to it. 

I suspect that entry is where I first got the  realization that acceptance when it seems not acceptable is to be headed in the right direction...away from self-determined objectives, seeking God's.

The hard lesson learning is that nothing anyone says to or about us can cause us lasting pain if we don't pick it up...for we end up wrapping our ego in it, virtually wearing it like it is finest silk for all our world to see. It is not what others say that brings us pain...it is how we respond that is the source of our misery.

That is essentially why we must learn that love is the answer no matter the question...ergo, love must come in many different guises, masks and meanings. One that I like today is nonresistance.

It is possible to hear...with our own ears, hear...ugly said about us and not respond with ugly. We cannot, however, do that relying on self will alone. Self will, driven by ego, is incapable of nonresistance, i.e., love. The job of self will, obviously, is to legislate for self...even when trying to show forth love, self concern will come first and ruin the play.

Acceptance, nonresistance, love...all are of God, none are available to self will all on its own.

Joy is the result of faithful trusting acceptance of My Will when It seems not joyous.

Thank you.
