EMBRACE OUR FEAR OR LIVE IN FEAR

My morning blinding flash of the obvious: Until we embrace fully each and every fear of our own imagining, we will be married to that fear. [My note: We embrace with a thank you...by accepting we surrender, we resist not...we hold our nose and take a leap of faith.]

My morning readings: 
...no evil can befall you - God Calling, July 25 - [only my own perception of evil]

...we eventually come to a point where our progress is stopped cold. There before us is a yawning chasm, waiting to swallow us up....We will have to make a tremendous leap. Complete devotion to the Lord as personified in a divine incarnation will enable us to soar. -- Eknath Easwaran, Words to Live By, July 25  [We hold our nose and take a leap of faith.]

You then thank God * * * You are making a choice for gratitude, abundance, and appreciation for Another, which has the power to radically de-center you. Your life and death are pure gift and must be given away in trust. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, July 25, 2018  [We embrace by our thank you.]

Ah, there it is. My proof to me that God is present in our every thought. He can, will and does let us know his thoughts and speaks to us in the silence. 

Of course, the proof comes easier when we've put in the time toward still more spiritual growth. That is our choice.

Choose you this day whom ye will serve. -- Joshua 24:15

Thank you.
