. ...every detail of your lives is planned by Me...wait for Guidance in every step. Wait to be shown My way. ...All the responsibility of Life taken off your shoulders.... - God Calling, December 13,
Today's God Calling lays out what has been leading me deeper for awhile now. Deeper into the gut-bucket belief that the Father within is dealing my deck, has always, will always...the hook, of course, is daily waiting. To let that be true by trusting it...and trusting it is like breathing. No should I or shouldn't I? No but what about this other? No let me think this through to see if I agree.
We are breaking free of self when we accept that this is not doable in the walking-around world, meaning for the uninitiated. Which is why we seek still more spiritual growth, why we meditate, why we study the Sermon, why we take time daily to clear our cluttered mind...to be freer daily of self-will.
For a long time, we did seek, but only to be able to say we seek. For us actually to do that which we were learning, i.e., to turn the other cheek, to resist not evil, was a "some day" thing. And then, blinding flash of the obvious: Now is the acceptable time. Now is the only time.
This is our building faith time. We commit to being grateful that whatever action we take is of God. Admittedly, it may seem regrettable in the moment, but we soon recognize that's because we didn't think of it.
We pray our thank you and wait. Since we're relying on our training to seek the sliver of gold, it doesn't take long to find it. Our reasoning mind does not have a clue what is going to result, and we worry not for we are relieved of the fear of being wrong or the need to be right. We are at peace, which I like to think proves Rohr's contention that grace isn’t a gift for getting it right but for getting it wrong. There...peace of mind aborning.
Lesson learned: The only lasting peace for the reasoning mind is a turned-over mind.
Thank you.
