It is always still more spiritual growth that brings the inner answers we seek...the answer ever being seek not to get but to give, which to me is God's Will 101.
Eventually we are able to bring our reasoning mind into agreement with that "concept," but, bottom-line, we usually see how it is true for others, specifically the one who is nattering at the edges of our mind right now, but true for ourself? That's a toughie...we hold out with we haven't been able to break the code on that yet.
Here's my Grandma Moses-spiritual-level thinking: To get respect we must give respect...to the person we feel is disrespecting us. There's the bad news and the good news both together...panic in realizing that material mind effort is useless here, peace in realizing that we are God's job...every jot and tittle which includes this.
The kicker: God is not available on demand.
That God is not available on demand is precisely why we learned from the get-go that we go to God for God and that is all...not to get anything from God but to give ourself to God...to build of me and to do with me as You will.
When we've got that, and if only by a hair, our mind is changed...we now seek to give, not get anything. We effortlessly continue to go to God for God and that is all, and whatever comes to us, looking like dross or looking like gold, we say thank you, and we know peace.
Full disclosure...that last sentence, the "effortlessly continue" part, is my work in progress. That is how I am building trust...through faith and hope. Proof that God has me heading in the right direction which is close enough to perfect for me.
Thank you.
