Your Father knows your needs before you ask. -- Matthew 6:8
To me, on that sentence hangs my peace of mind. On that promise, we can build our trust...for we have already come to believe that God is Love and love is purely good. Because he already knows our needs, we can trust they will met with love...and laughter.
To trust God utterly and completely and without holdback, we must learn, utterly and completely and without holdback, to pray not to get peace, love and joy, we pray thank you...and we have peace love and joy to give. Whether we know it or not.
Comes the light...we must first do it to know it.
With our eyes opened, our reasoning mind is appeased...others is our need, the necessary receptacle to receive our gift of peace, love and joy. There's our stairway to Heaven.
What we have come to believe is solidly affirmed: To do for others, it is our self that must change...made easier now that our perspective has opened. We accept, with love and laughter, that since others do not perceive themselves as we do, we can and we want to love each and all as we perceive them to be.
Or, as six-year-old Nikka said, "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." That'll change our perspective for sure.
Love...God...meets us where we are. So must we...with love...meet us where we are. Then pass it on.
Thank you.
