NOT BY WILL BUT BY GRACE

Blinding flash of the obvious: I am Gertrude's angel/thorn...I fulfill her ego's need for a living thorn to feel martyred by. Reason not, love and laugh.

Well, now. We can hope...plan...to walk this new path to acceptance: When someone seems to dislike us, for what to us is no apparent reason, we need to remember that we are their angel/thorn. 

We fulfill their egoic need for a thorn-in-the-flesh to feel martyred by thus inviting into their life care and concern from others. 

We furnish that not by will but by grace. 

When followers of God walk beside him, he leads them in directions they would rather not go....  GO.

Thank you.
