GOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT 2

[This is a reprint of my post of January 22, 2013, slightly reworked.]   

Truth is within ourselves and we must open out a way for the imprisoned splendour to escape. -- Robert Browning

I tend to believe Truth is interchangeable with kindness, caring, patience, love, understanding...that they are all inside us right this very minute. If not, where would we go to get them? To pray for any one or all, it seems to me, is to doubt God's perfect work to begin with.

The minute we recognize a need to be kind, be kind...a need to be understanding, be understanding...a need to be patient, be patient. Loose it, and let it flow forth.

It follows that the highest form of prayer...thank You...is not a request but an acknowledgment of what already is for which we give praise. That very praise brings the realization that what is is just as it needs be for our benefit right this minute.

We have been looking at life from the wrong perspective (i.e., our own). It is not that we are always wrong, it is that God is always right.

Our purpose now is to accept that we already have all we need, freeing us to focus on the how of it, the why of it...which is quite simply going to God for God, and that is all.

Word of warning: Going to God for God is a serious dig...be prepared to pray thank you a lot.

Thank You.
