GOD IS NEVER NOT WITH US, WITHIN US

God’s great love story with us calls us into discomfort—the gateway to evolution. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," March 3, 2018

Is it just me or does everything point toward our need to suffer? Or feel discomfort anyway. And there it is...I read "discomfort" and translated it into "need to suffer." 

Suffering/discomfort is what my evolving mind seems to be inviting today. Some ugly-on-their-face haps have come to me, and together with the appearance of our chaotic world today, I've felt less anchored, more iffy within. 

In order to deal with this, my daily world, I think my "thank you" repeatedly. I am grateful to find...again and deeper every time...that staying with thank you does work...insofar as turning my thoughts away from "OMG, this is awful," toward "I can't wait to see what God has for us here!"

I'm leaning into what I've come to believe: What is is what is supposed to be. The Father knows our needs. Resist not. Go with what is and learn why the Father knows this for our need. Then share that instead of staying stuck in the mud of my own mind where there is no hope because I can't think of a quick solution.

The harder the hit, the deeper my God.

Thank you.
