Paradox alert! Our ego thrives on blame and shame...it thrives through our never-ending seeking to be absolved of all blame and shame.
It is a rude but wonderful awakening when we realize our error...we get a flicker that blame and shame are God's glory aborning.
That same flicker brings awareness that blame and shame, our ego's warts, are of no personal use whatsoever. They are purchased by ego and paid for by chagrin...ah, but transformed by the awareness of our Soul.
Our transformation comes when our thinking, centered on the unjustified and unfair cause of our pain, is lifted deeper...to a place of the Unknown, i.e., trust. Trust that this, too, is of God...that God's hand is in this, the very cause of our pain, and in it for our benefit.
We welcome it with our thank you...before we even know why.
Trust in God does not come after the miracle. Trust comes before our eyes can see, before our ears can hear, before our want can get its pants on.
When the house is on fire, the river is overflowing, our bank account is underfunded...trust that God's hand is in this. Find it, love, laugh and hang In.
In essence, and according to me, that is the sum and substance of a spiritually based life...trusting God's hand is it it for our benefit.
Thank you.
