GOD KNOWS MY NEEDS

[The following is a slightly reworked reprint of my post of October 27, 2013/]

Remembering my years of living defensively, I am overwhelmed with joy and gratitude that, to a great degree, I have been moved from that place. And it all began when I learned: We go to God for God and that is all; we seek God for God's sake...not for love, not for power, not for prestige, not for profit.

I can choose to walk free in my own head today...except, of course, when I stub my toe and my ego declares it your fault, and I go haring off down that trail.

The good news is that today I know that, too, is doing it right. Why else would I keep digging for still more spiritual growth? I know this to be true because every time I've gotten to a place within where I feel safe, secure, protected, I "stub my toe and my ego declares it your fault, and I go haring off down that trail."

Only when I become willing to and do acknowledge my initial part in the stubbing of my toe, do I realize I've grown just a tish deeper spiritually.

God knows my needs...my wants, not so much...there, again, a matter for pure gratitude.

Thank you.
