VULNERABILITY IS GOD'S WILL

Free-floating ideas this morning:
  • This is the quote that I love best: "If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate." -- Nikka, age 6 -- Saying it, loving it...ah, but DOING it, there's the hook!
  • For Thy will to be done we must DO then accept that. To accept with grace and humor is what transmutes ego's want into God's will...I hope.
  • When I pray to God for his help, come to my aid, I already have his help, his aid, but it is up to me to USE IT...to put it to use by moving my hands and feet, or any of my faculties that he gave me to use in the first place.
  • This morning I read: [Winning, getting over on another] these are aspects of ourselves that make us feel powerful and protected, rather than vulnerable. First thought: We are supposed to feel vulnerable? Comes the dawn: Yes...recall spiritual growth comes in the reverse-image of God's will. Vulnerable = God's will; self-protected = self will. 
  • To be vulnerable without conscious thought is to be open to God, the love of God, Love. If that be so, the journey from head to heart to Soul begins anew on daily awakening. 
  • We have a problem, we panic; it gets fixed, we are happy. The reality is that the fix is the unimportant part. It's why we lose our peace in the instant of travail that needs our attention. 
  • Blinding flash...my deepest fear is that my mind, through anxiety, can and will overpower God. I can welcome that fear for the truth is when I feel fear, God is here. Thank you is the welcomer.
  • Live thank you...love and laughter follow. 
Thank you.
