Blinding flash of the obvious: Our bane is righted by our opened eyes. We do not make it happen, righted flows forth from within.
My spiritual growth today seems to be all about looking back and realizing how the truth of my BFOs has shown through in my life...not by my efforts although not not by my efforts. Not to put on airs, but quoting John of the Cross who said it best, this is the way to the transformational power of radical unknowing.
To prove truth, we must move out in trust that this is God's will...it is the stonewall we hit that turn us in a new direction. Rightly we move out in trust...the stonewall is God's will turning us, setting us ever straighter.
We give up trying to count or discount the many stonewalls we must needs hit...we say a heartfelt thank you for each one and keep doing what we feel called to do.
Slowly it will dawn that the heartfelt in our thank you is a hugh part of our lesson. That is, we pray our thank you not by rote or by will but from a grateful heart before we realize the gift...that is where the building of trust leads us. Trust is now transmuted, and we have found faith.
Faith, the key to the peace of mind we seek, have ever sought. It cannot be willed...it cannot be denied. It comes with or without our knowledge...we find ourself aware that we are afraid or unafraid, it makes no nevermind. We are peaced.
Thank you.
