We must see, acknowledge, BE the darkness, failure, relapse, death and woundedness in our little piece of our own universe...nonresistance leads us free. We get bogged down in comparing our littleness to the incomprehensible courage of the likes of Ira Hayes or Etty Hillesum, et al. No. Our courage comes in how we overcome within our own self the snarks, slurs and slams of our life...by which I See Me and judge at 3:00 AM. It takes courage to kiss it on the lips and praise the Lord at 3 AM...but that's how we find our courage, by using it.
I am realizing more and more that my everyday message is all about getting over my own self. I feel dissed, I feel honored, I feel less than, I feel oh so superior, I feel all alone, I feel crowded, I feel...but then don't we all?
The great and glorious, stand-up-and-shout answer to those feelings, i.e., life's problems, is: Resist nothing, welcome all...that is what we are, the clay God has to work with...our sole job is to let him.
We let him when we feel, say, fear of financial insecurity. We consciously recall that fear is God's camouflage. This fear of financial insecurity has naught to do with money, it has to do with fear...fear for our security. God is our security. We immediately turn our thoughts to God and the things of God...stay our focus there until God is our only thought. Fear is banished, we are secured.
This is what "God Calling" describes as releasing the imprisoned God-Power within you. It goes on to say, That Power, once operative, will immediately perform miracles. I am here to attest that is true.
Thank you.
