I have gotten this advice in different ways many times over the years. I have found that becoming willing to make my choice of whom or what to love and sticking with it all the way through is most soul satisfying when my selection is of someone or thing that I am resisting.
I have notes all through my "God Calling" of the progress I am making with the anonymous Gertrude or the situational JoB of the moment. It is akin to a light aglow in my heart when I come across a healed situation...that's where all concerned come out the winner.
To see the path I trudged to get to healing (is that just another word for detachment, I wonder) fills me with gratitude and wonder. Wonder...as in, how did I ever get so blessed as to get the gift of quieted surrender?
And then, seems like simultaneously, yet another Gertrude or JoB comes along doing it wrong...and slowly I realize that here is an even more precious gift. This one brings the gift of humility, of which. apparently, I shall never have enough.
God...now there's the One to emulate...he loves all the way through. And who's kidding whom? That's a bar too high, and an ego-goal into the bargain. But God loves me for it...hee-hee-hee.
Thank you.
