IDLE THOUGHTS...POSSIBLE TRUTHS

All our rues, regrets and remorses are our answered prayers...it is unlikely any of them was done with the aim of getting God. No...it is probable that each was for ego satisfaction, albeit prettied up to appear selfless. Prettied-up selflessness is a rough and rutted road to ego deflation in depth, a.k.a., God. 

For not just our remorses is this true...all our dreads are here: Illness, physical and mental, broken  relationships and/or financial insecurity. We pray to be lifted out of our dreads but we must be in our dreads to be lifted out. God is only present Now...not in next April when taxes are coming due and what if we don't have the money and what to do, what to do.

Calm trust in God is the healer, the healer being God's will, and God's will rarely even resembles our want-to's will. His will may be our suffering not the mental threat but the material world actual...not just the dread of cancer, etc, but the actual itself.

There. To be calm in the face of a dread visited upon us is, plain and simple, to resist not evil. 

We quote those words, believe in those words, but those words made visible are God in his infinite mercy. They are just words until we are wrapped up within them...by their strutting their stuff while we're praying thank you...and meaning it.

All is within us. Right now. Has ever been within us. Cannot not be within us. Is being released for our benefit Now...whether we know it or not.

It is in the silence that we hear...as, if and when our Way is cleared by grace and by God.

Accepting that as an impossible human-condition exercise, brings us to crash and burn, the pearl beyond price. We learn we must detach from our want-to thoughts and welcome the realization that the mind cannot comprehend the gifts God has for us...neither his timing nor his way of delivery.

We sit and wait on the Lord and love and laugh while waiting. 

Thank you.
