I had a serious me eye-opener yesterday...from my mouth to a friend' ears: "Putin is evil and should be taken out just as Hitler should have been long before he did it himself." She disagreed with the killing part, and I defended it.
In my quiet time this morning the Word flashed bright and right, and I felt humbled: Resist not evil...no exceptions.
I did not consciously have a clue of my thinking about Putin or Hitler. Clearly, my egoic mind was doing and will do my reasoning for me whenever and without a first alert. I just reckon that's the way I invite the Lord to teach me so I pray my thank you and reach for still more spiritual growth.
I am grateful that finally my want and my need are the same in that I seek for a neutralized view of Putin...not to "save" him but to upgrade my attitude about him. I begin by acknowledging he is not evil, but his acts and the facts about his acts certainly are. We resist them not, for it is by our resistance that we make them ours...as in, when they shoot, we go for our guns.
Just as we cannot change our own minds by self-will, we know God can and will if sought...same goes with evil. It is our raised consciousness, out of the reasoning into the spiritual, where God consciousness perfects that which is given us to do.
I pray thank you for the spiritual enlightenment of Putin... and me...that we are freed from self-will, self-interest, self-determined objectives, self.
Trust that Truth...Now to walk it.
Thank you.
