Love is the key. No door is too difficult for it to open. - "God Calling," January 6
That sang to me this morning. I sensed my current mishmash of feelings being calmed...the aloneness, the trepidation at whatever/whenever I do or say. Feelings I now know are the direct result of the new and steeper path I am being led to walk...not by my choosing but my blessing. The path is being straightened even as I walk it whether I choose to walk it or not...the choice being questioned by the current rash of egoic regrets.
Then comes my blinding flash of the obvious: Love them. Do not try to make any corrections by my own thinking...let whatever I personally say or do be known within me as God-directed so if they're hitting as wrong, hold to God, the corrector...and it will prove to be they were necessary for my education in learning yet a deeper meaning of love which may well be trust God is and let it be.
Interesting. There...I just spelled all that out after which I read Fr Richard Rohr's "Daily Meditation" which not only confirmed my understanding but the how and the why of it:
We gradually come to recognize that this thing we call 'thinking' does not enable us to love God and love others. We need a different operating system, and it both begins with and leads to silence....[Per St Paul] 'Pray with gratitude, and the peace of Christ which is beyond knowledge or understanding will guard both your mind and your heart....Then we will discover what is ours to do.'
Love is the key. No door is too difficult for it to open.
Thank you.
