As I need, I am supplied. It is my need that supplies, that brings forth my supply...whatever that may be.
It may be true that love of money is the root of all evil, but I find it easy to believe that it is disrespect that is evil's Miracle-Gro. Disrespect breeds evil, also known as resentment. It is resentment that starts, channels, and speaks evil, i.e., disrespect.
A resentment cannot be wished or willed away. It cannot be dressed up to look other than it is...like the ear-worm we hear so much about today, nobody but us can hear it, and we can't unhear it.
All this leads me back to my long-ago realization that my need brings forth my supply...whatever that may be.
It is whatever that may be that was my eyeopener...until "whatever" came to me, I was thinking of my supply as money...period. My need, however, is the ability, the willingness, to do for another, its the act of giving over, giving up, giving in against my own want-to and for the benefit of another.
Its turning my thoughts to God with a conscious desire for him to change my mind whenever an ugly enters in. It's so 1, 2, 3 simple, and a zillion x infinity hard...I just need to change my perception of the situation at hand. No peace will ever come until I upgrade my perception of the less-than-wonderful I am perceiving.
There's the conundrum...resentment will fog the memory that I alone cannot change my perception. Ah, but it's that hard-won discipline that clears the way for me to recall: God can and will if sought.
Thank you.
