That leads me to conclude that still more spiritual growth is our lifelong lesson. We slowly learn we cannot get it by thinking, reading, analyzing, discussing, debating...although, we even more slowly learn, it rarely comes without all that thinking, etc.
Our reasoning mind wants only the best for us...to live and let live, to love and be loved. Ummm and uh-oh...that is our want, according to our lights.
God knows our needs: Love...or resist not, forgive and that is all.
Learning unto doing still more spiritual growth is to love our enemies, let the one who badmouths us badmouth us, offer understanding to any who may work against us, be a forgiving person. ABTW, selective forgiveness is a control issue which is pretty much all the reasoning mind is, of course, a control issue.
There it is...the why of it, why still more spiritual growth is our lifelong lesson, why we rarely get there without thinking, reading, analyzing, discussing, debating. We cannot do it without prior proper planning, or just because we know better. Pray thank you.
According to me, it boils down to trusting our spiritual path...God. Sometimes that feels like being stuck between a rock and a hard place...take heart, that's usually when we're doing it right.
We must go beyond reason to love...which is going to God for God and that is all.
Thank you.
