Love is not given to us to help us solve our problems. Love, rather, leads us into our problems. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, September 9, 2022
Isn't that wondrous? Isn't the truth of that wondrous!
Love leads us into our problems, else how could we learn to love your enemy as yourself? Comes the dawn...our enemy is not always or even necessarily a human. Our enemy is whatever we are resisting.
Here's the answer: Whenever we feel resistance, turn into it, hug it and kiss it and let it go without another thought.
Here's the problem: Without another thought. There it is...the rabbit hole. Do not go there. Which advice sends us there p.d.q. So go there. Ponder. Analyze. Argue. Debate. Beat breast. Wail. Surrender.
Surrender, ego's word for loser, God's word for peaced...and peaced is gratitue...and gratitude is love.
We are now at the door of love...closed to the egoic mind, opened by grace's kiss on ego's lips, calming it as gratitude blooms...and God smiles.
That is how love leads us into our problem...by the grace of God and gratitude.
Upgrade your attitude, downgrade your problem.
Thank you.
