Blinding flash of the obvious: To help us, God needs our help.
Well, now. The quandary is how? To help us, God needs our help...how?
Is this, then, when we learn how to sit and wait on the Lord?...with a purpose in mind? The purpose of helping by following not leading....by following the commands we receive from within in our quiet time? Not fooling ourself by following whatever "good" idea comes to mind, as in, thinking of ourself as first, i.e., by leading, or as last, by following, or as in-between, trying for One.
This may be the time that we kiss self-determined objectives on the lips and let them go...which, standing alone, cannot be done for that becomes a self-determined objective.
Blinding flash of the obvious: To give God our help is to seek God's will.
Ah, then to seek God's will is to accept when wrong, not if wrong, as God's will...to be wrong is proof of God's will...to be right is the inner peace that allows us to continue to seek God's will and that is all.
SIDEBAR: The world, and all the sects and sections of the world, seem to be in crisis today...the Fellowship of my Soul being my deep concern. I am calmed and comforted by the words of Pope Francis re emerging from a world crisis. His words hold true for the world, for a country, for a Fellowship: ...one does not emerge from a crisis the same as before....We emerge from a crisis either better or worse than before. It is up to us to choose. And solidarity is, indeed, a way of coming out of the crisis better....
Solidarity...our forever and not new answer.
Whenever anything upsets me, no matter what the cause, there is something wrong with me; ergo, we have ceased fighting everything and everybody.
Thank you.
