Blinding flash of the obvious: I am safely in the protection of my indwelling God...my health and my decisions about my health are not mine but Thine, and I trust that.
Looking back, I know that my spiritual growth has been by my letting go of life's many woes and by my gratitude for life's many free blessings. All of which acknowledge that everything happens by invitation only.
It took as long as it took for that not to live in my brain just to be quoted to others, but to realize for truth that everything that happens in my individual life happens to me by my invitation only. Snarks, unearned slights, ill health, financial woes...all are woes purely by our attitude about them.
When we upgrade our attitude, we downgrade our problem.
The easy-to-miss catch: We are constitutionally incapable of upgrading our attitude, i.e., changing our mind, by self-will alone. We must seek a Power greater than ourself to do our heavy lifting.
I suspect that the mountain referred to in the biblical quote about faith moving mountains is referring to our own mind.
We wouldn't think less of ourself if we couldn't move a mountain...that mountain equates to our made-up/shut-down mind.
The answer is still more spiritual growth...going to God for God, and that is all.
Thank you.
