Assurance is that calmness born of a deep certainty of God's strength available to us and in His power to love and guard us from all harm and wrong doing. -- Anonymous
Blinding flash of the obvious: To God all my wrong doings are His gifts to me for they are the lever that turns me to Him...pray thank you, gratitude will follow.
My wrong doings most often come from my self-determined objectives...even when I believe they are good and right. There's where our thank you saves us...it turns our thinking away from why our way was right and invites gratitude to accept what is just as it is.
Thy will, not mine, be done are just so many words until we are living them. This is so hard to do because the actual doing most often meets with commonsense and reasoning minds, i.e., resistance. Which is ours to understand, not overcome.
We no longer seek to do the "right" thing according to our lights. We want to do God's will, God's way, whatever, however...brambles, detours, snides, snarks and/or ill will coming at us. For this we have come to believe: Thy will is better than our will no matter how it looks to our eyes arriving.
This is the new sight promised us with our exchanged mind...we will see through His eyes now.
Thank you.
