I went to bed last night with roiling thoughts and feelings about current events in the Commonwealth of Virginia...but specifically with the name "Breitbart" stirring the pot. (I ignore that to my ego Lucy having someone to blame is perfect peace.)
Half awake this morning, I entertained my attack mind with old resentments. (ASIDE: Remembered mentor advice, they're not old if you're still using them). To continue, I was recalling more than a few people in my past who were to blame for me and had never been adequately set straight (shamed) for it.
Fully awake, I mentally fell to my knees (a physical improbability today) and thanked Almighty God for his vivid calling card. I remembered that resentments are the No. 1 offender in my life, and that thank you is the sufficient healer for all my self-inflicted pains...which they all are.
My thank you led me to today's "Daily Meditation" by Fr Richard Rohr where I experienced my proof of purchase: The people who hold the contradictions and resolve them in themselves are the saviors of the world. They are the only real agents of transformation, reconciliation, and newness.
According to me, that is to resist not evil, and not by self-will but by the grace of the Father within, proving once again that our only need is to go to God for God and that is all.
If that be true for me, then it be true for the Commonwealth of Virginia. All is well...let it be.
Thank you.
