Today we are all James Comey.
I doubt there is a soul anywhere who doesn't have an overlord niggling their psyche right this red-hot minute ...a demanding employer, a peeved spouse, an un-understanding friend, an unjustified enemy, a drug (alcohol, sugar, tobacco in any and all forms), a misbehaving pet, a God who doesn't understand...the list is endless.
Can we accept that overlord, the one who apparently has our fate (for sure our mind) in its control? Are we willing to call that overlord, who is apparently crushing us at its whim, our angel? Can we know that one is present in our life to set us free? Free of our resistance to it?...by surrendering to it?
We must, you know.
My heart goes out to Comey, not because he was fired...all of us good people have been, she says, grinning. I do speak from experience, though...getting fired can be grace with his name on it. My only prayer for him is that he knows, or soon learns, that the actors in his axing are his angels. Not to be fought, but to be thanked.
To fight is akin to mixing it up with a tar baby...that stuff sticks to us for a long, long time, and it doesn't get better as it ages on us. To welcome is akin to standing in a warm and gentle Hawaiian rain...feels like being kissed by butterflies. Don't tell me that isn't freedom riding in on a rainbow. There it is. Gratitude. That's how we get free from our own self, free to opt for God's will. And it is good.
Resist not evil. -- Matthew 5:39
Thank you.
