NOT OURS TO FIX, OURS TO PRAISE

I had several idle thoughts this morning, thoughts about my busy mind that I realized was looking to build a resentment. Recognizing that, knowing the truth of it, turned my thoughts to gratitude. I am grateful that I no longer doubt for a minute that a resentful mind is always directed outward...looking for somebody to blame.

It seems only in acceptance of that first instant of feeling that somebody else needs to be blamed and shamed for my resentment am I released from my resistance. It is that acceptance, if not with a laugh at least with a smile, that turns me inward, seeking a spiritual fix.

This morning I got (again) that:

1. It is not for me to correct another's words or thoughts or attitude about me...it is for the other to recognize his or herself in their resistance.
2. It is not for me to figure out the why of the other's resistance. 
3. It is for me to welcome being their "whipping girl." (I am grateful, also, that I was taught to go for the harshest term for it keeps me focused on my problem, me.) There...that is me helping them to break through their own resistance to their own self.   

In turning to God with our own resistance, we are giving to God that which needs perfecting in us...it is not for us to fix but for us to praise for that is what is leading us back to God.

Thank you.
