Admittedly, that BFO did not make a lick of sense to me until I sat with it a while. I think I got it!
Ego, which always legislates for itself, rarely if ever benefits its patron, self. All rues, regrets and remorses then are ego's plaint that God is stealing its glory. God, which makes the crooked places straight, blesses the poor in spirit and strengthens the weak, accepts our rues, regrets and remorses and returns them to us as our sliver of gold.
Our sliver of gold is the motherboard of gratitude. An attitude of gratitude is the foundation of our thank you prayer. And our thank you prayer is the whittler down of all that is of ego...me, my, mine.
Lesson learned: Never rue our rues; they, too, are of God.
If the only prayer you pray in your life is thank you, that would suffice. -- Meister Eckhart
Thank you.
