Once I was given this blinding flash of the obvious that comforts me today: God's will is for us to experience love, to live life and all life offers through love.
The big Uh-Oh is our egoic mind's fears, doubts, dark edges that are a part of life...and really need love.
Our wants rarely conform with God's will, meaning we often get our needs met through our reasoning mind's declaration of utter defeat, a.k.a., crash and burn. In short, we're dumped into the middle of our own impossible haps where, for the spiritually open, God sees the possible, picks up the pieces and makes us whole.
All paths lead to God, and here us one path to seeing through the eyes of God. We fall down, he lifts us up...until our eyes are lifted, we see our wants as our needs. They are not, but only seeing through God's eyes can prove that for us.
As Fr Richard Rohr put it, ....true seeing doesn’t stop with human beings and enemies and the “least of these.” It moves to frogs and water and weeds. Everything becomes enchanting once we have full sight.
Thank you.
