I am knowing more fully my BFO, I tried, I trusted, is the capstone on my ever seeking to trust God...which capstone will continue to grow higher deeper. From my own experience, I realize and fully accept as my own: God, grace and self-forgiveness...I tried, I trusted.
I realize and fully accept (and will no doubt forget) that I will need to re-experience that same BFO at even deeper realizations as I continue to seek still more spiritual growth.
Along those lines, as I read about Jung's conviction that doing God's will gave him the strength to go his own way, I knew that my trust in God is happily rooted in my own experience of God's will in my life, i.e., in my crash and burn and all that followed therefrom.
I am grateful that my doing what God wants and not what I want requires me to get a little help from my mentor and my friends. I rest in that even as I know...more like, because I know...I have found what Jung described as an inner authority that we can trust that is bigger than our own.
The hard-earned realization that trusting God, that inner authority of our own, does not preclude incoming hurts, scrapes, humiliations...no! It invites those things! Along with receiving lovingkindness, sweet charity, giving more than getting and loving it...all that life offers we now accept knowing it comes by our invitation only. Ah, and God guided.
Children of God are supremely safe in his love (but not protected in the world). -- Beatrice Bruteau, interspiritual pioneer.
Thank you.
