In essence, all my anxious insights coming to me these days say the same thing: Trust God with all our heart, soul, body and brains, and love our friends and our enemy equally...selflessly.
Here's the strength of my egoic mind...knowing and leaning into all that is coming to me, first thought this morning, "Maybe I should read this new book," and still another "maybe I should try...." The resistant ideas flow, bumper to bumper, and I fight them not. Which, who's kidding whom, is worth noting.
Then I pick up one of my dailies to move it, and it falls open to a Ralph Waldo Emerson quote: People wish to be settled, only as far as they are unsettled is there any hope for them.
Don't tell me God doesn't speak directly to us.
It is my unsettled searching that keeps returning me to God...which is only right. Leaving no stone unturned ends with an unquestioning heart. Love. God.
The certain surety of which does not come in this lifetime if we're doing it right. Else what is trust for?
Thank you.
