DAILY UNLEARN; DAILY UNKNOW...AH, PEACE

My free-flowing thoughts today remind me of me back in the day...back when I was mind-wrestling with whether I should go to therapy to fix me...teach me how to stand up for myself, fight back, Be Somebody...or to stick with God and get whatever He had for me

 

Today's free-floaters, to me, reveal the difference between going to God for God to receive the ongoing blessing of giving over, giving up, giving in, and going to therapy to learn how to get right by my own reasoning, then to hold that line.

I swap my welfare for your welfare in my heart and in my head...my welfare is not mine, it is God's...to be concerned for my own welfare is to show no trust in God...God always has the welfare of me, of you, of others, giving bones to our goal to line up with Him and aid in His care for all of us...as we are learning (or unlearning, it is never what we think) to do for others...as others need to do the same for still others.

God's will for me: daily unlearn, daily unknow...remain open. I give thanks today for my slow but steady willingness to unlearn...to unknow...to resist not, to forgive.

here is a cause for joy:

the realization that every blessing

and all you hope for

is so close to you

as to be within you.

-- from John of the Cross, “The Spiritual Canticle”

There. We go to God for God, and that is all...for that is everything.

Thank you.
