I have to be reminded of that repeatedly...obviously because I do not believe it. Better self wants to, egoic self cannot...will not...allow it to even take root. I feel agreeably surprised every time I come across it...and there is proof of disbelief. I read that, like it, know it for true, and forget it.
Looking for the sliver of gold, it is probably just as well we hold to our feeling of right. Wishy-washy never gets us that good feeling when we really are right besides being a lot harder to break out of when we are finally swamped by nada...non-participation in our own life.
Interesting to me is the discovery that my participating in life did not begin until I decided to and did turn my will and my life over to the care of God. With that decision, God had the reins whether I knew it or not. It took, is taking, time to realize how completely God does the footwork,
Most important is the snail-paced realization that it is my feet he uses for my walking...my hands he uses for my daily work...my mouth his words flow from, and only I can get in his way...not stop him, just slow me down.
The good news...my turn-over decision keeps him in charge. I get in the way, he rights me, we get where he is going...with as many U-turns as I need.
From my eyebrows up, of course, I choose no U-turns; my actions, however, spell out the truth...slow but steady with detours up the gump-stump.
The stand up and shout-it-out truth: With God as our guide, we are ever headed in the right direction. Can we have an Amen!
Thank you.
