Most likely there will ever be times in our lives that appear to be less than wonderful...when we seem to be at sixes and sevens as it were. Naturally, we will resist. Ah, but it is the overcoming of our own natural impulses that is the aim and the gift of still more spiritual growth.
The hardest lesson...and I am still learning...is to let that be my gift. To work to earn it is to miss the message.
Here's my problem: I still can't believe that'll do us a harm, that is, to work to earn it. It may well be wasted effort but it keeps my thoughts turned toward God. Where's the harm?
Uh-oh...my thoughts. When I know full well our thoughts will ever be legislating for our will, and our will alone. That's the harm, our block if you will. That's why it is Let go and let God, not Let go a little and think on how to help God.
It's like we're taught at age five or six: When someone offers you a gift, a compliment or a present, accept it and say "Thank you." And that is all.
Thank you.
