My good does not come to me. My good comes from me. It only appears to come to me.
As I'm journaling this morning, I realize that several wonderful things came about yesterday...it was one thing leading to the other, and I was grateful. That led to my conscious realization that each of these happenings had been the basis of my "bless him/her, change me" prayer that I have prayed for some time now.
As each thing happened yesterday, I thanked God at the miracle of each...for each appeared to come from several different people, no event related to the other.
I realized that this is the road to peace within outward even while it appears it is the outward event that is bringing peace in to me.
It was my need (God's will) to do St. Francis's instructions; i.e., if you are slandered and skewered, honestly and sincerely in your heart bless the slander-er and skewer-er in the name of God. That is all.
All the outward appearing gifts to me start with my prayer for peace, love and joy for others...that I may bring, not that I may get.
I have to keep it simple, so my prayer of "bless her/him, change me" covers all the bases, and keeps me from haranguing God with my perceived needs (my will).
God is so good to me.
Thank You.
