The promises that we are given in our quiet time, that we receive from deep on high, are true. But they cannot be true for our self alone...if they are not true for the universe, they are akin to the devil quoting scripture...just ego whispering ego-victory wishes to our self.
I read in Fr Richard Rohr's Daily Meditation this morning that it is written we must be ground like wheat, and once we have recovered, then we can turn and help others. I'm taking ground like wheat to be our ego resisting the need to give over, give up, give in.
My prayer concerns a petty, infinitesimal pushback that my ego Lucy is wrapped around. Having to do with another, of course: God grant that I be willing to give over, give up, give in to her will...let it be...resist not are just words if I'm not going to do them...starting within my own attack mind and walking it all the way through. I can mentally ask him what I can do to help when I walk in the door. What's your suggestion, please and thank you?
There. That's me being ground like wheat. I do not want to mentally ask him what I can do, I want to physically tell her what she can do. Oh, wait...BFO...is this maybe God in him inviting God in me to love and laugh...together? As One? I'm going with that...when given a choice, choose the one with the less ego.
You must be ground like wheat; once you have recovered, then you can turn and help the others. -- Luke 22:31-32
Thank you.
