That is known as "growth," albeit only the first step in our growth, the toe in the icy water toward change. The longer we stay inactive, wanting, the longer we are panting after the easy...praying without participating.
Face it, spiritual want-to is the prerequisite for required action, i.e, ego-deflation. And the icy water gets deeper. We discover our apparent need is for inner strength...and more still inner strength...for we are closing in on the real need: We need to get over our own self. With love and laughter yet.
I was gifted with a growth goose this morning. The word "forgive" came to me almost as a message in and of itself...not almost, it was. And I pondered it, that word "forgive" and "forgiveness": forgive - forgiveness - my blinding flash of the obvious sacred word. To give before get...be the first to give over...to fore give...to the reasoning mind, forgive is a weak word...forgiveness seems suckup...to forgive almost gutless...ah, mirror image of God, fore give is to give up our own self in acceptance of the Father within.
I was reminded of my decision to be a forgiving person, and I welcome this continuing education.
It is through the act of forgiveness that our inner strength grows We give up, give in, give over of our self to lighten our load, and we are lifted deeper into higher consciousness.
Thank you.
