We waste much mental, physical and spiritual energy trying to fix our own feelings so we can feel good about our self. Unfortunately, we do it by thinking of ways to hurt another...setting her straight, making him pay, spitting in the face of Fate.
What if feeling good about ourself is not God's will for us? That it is a side bennie that comes with our trusting God implicitly. (Uh-oh, I wonder if "implicitly" isn't a reasoning mind stricture looking to get us to return to self-will when (not if) we fail.)
From my life's experience, trusting God even a little bit is a rest of our life exercise. That being true, best hunker down now and make peace with falling and failing...because we will if we're doing it right. That is the part reasoning mind misses: We fall and fail only to be lifted up and set in the right direction...for to trust God.
Hey! That's how we learn to love and laugh...falling, failing and being lifted up, made right by grace and by God.
Whole new sliver of gold: Fear not failure, it's our angel wings.
Thank you.
