Unless we can find a meaning for human suffering, that God is somehow in it and can also use it for good, humanity is in major trouble. -- Fr Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," October 17, 2018.
We are gifted in our spiritually awakened life with the realization that there is a measure of good in everything. Our job, if we ever hope to be freed from the egoic self to any degree at all, is to search for that sliver of gold whenever the appearance of ugly comes our way.
Even better, when good comes, we learn to go beneath the Wow, I Just Got Mine in order to find not mine, but God's. Which, without fail, is inclusive of others.
It's comforting to know that any good coming to me, flows through me and includes you...and them, the "lessers" we are unconsciously looking down on right this very minute. Nobody is left out.
We all get ours in a spiritually unlifted world deep within.
Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. -- Matthew 6:33
Thank you.
