Judging by the many times I have underlined the above, this qualifies as the most important reminder I encounter every year as I read my "God Calling." I could wish it sounded more deeply spiritual, but there it is...there I am. The good news is that today I laugh.
Oh...with my laughter comes a mini flash: I know Him by the fruits of my life.
I can...and apparently will...think less-than all I want, but the proof is in my very life. The gift of gratitude, grace timely relieving me of the bondage of self, anxiety bowing to my thank you prayer...ah, the walking-around fruits of God in my life are endless.
Old Reliable, my reasoning mind, thinks, yes, but.... Where's my "I'm An Honor Student" bumper sticker?
Puzzle solved...that's precisely why every year I underline the above quote. Our reasoning mind is ever on the job, will be till three days after we're dead, so don't resist it, use it.
The gold in thinking your lives are all wrong if you do not feel it, is that thought sends us back to God's drawing board...to ponder again the fruits of our life. To feel again gratitude for grace and the grace of gratitude.
God loves so much...me, thee, the universe.
Thank you.
