Neither money nor power is or ever has been my ego-driver...glory, it is glory, being admired, appreciated, that drives my ego. It is shame, therefore, shame brought by my self-seeking, shame that I invite and i need, and by my own self-seeking actions, get.
It is said that what we fear, we cause to happen. As we rely more on God and less on self, we find the spiritual truth that allows that to be true...not to punish but to free.
It is by meeting our fear even as we fear it, greeting it with thank you, and walking forward through that fear that we are freed in that moment.
We will feel fear again...repeatedly and a lot...before we fully realize that freedom from fear is faith. That which we have read and wanted to believe becomes our real: God can and will intervene in our life in our behalf...not to shelter us from, but to expose us to! How else can we experience God's power...and fear's powerlessness?
Word of warning to our egoic mind...we tell no one this before its time, before it has been fully born within us. We will know its time has come when others are seeing it in us, telling us what they see, asking us how.
Until asked, we stand on thank you...we let go and let God. There...the grace of gratitude aborning.
Thank you.
