Who gave you your authority?
I have no authority.
I have the gift of intuition, gifted by grace and by God.
I awoke around 3:00 AM with the above dialogue playing in my head.
I remembered that this morning and thought that often, and more often than I'd like, I confuse my reasoning mind wants with my intuition. The less-than-wonderful truth about that is that my rues, regrets and remorses show up when my self-will comes home shamefaced and sorry, looking for someone to blame. And then it's only a negative for as long as I choose to stay there. Love it and laugh works wonders.

I like to think that going down that wrong road again is part of God's perfect plan for our spiritual education. How else could we learn to trust his coming to our aid as needed if we never needed it?
We must needs remember that ego, our own ego, is with us 24/7, 365/6, and that's where God's gift of free will lives. It is ours to remember that God, too, is always there, and it is ours to keep tuned to our God, not our ego, a.k.a., Lucy with the football.
That's a simple enough fact...doing it is as simple as we choose it to be.
Choose you this day whom ye will serve. -- Joshua 24:15
Thank you.
