Do not seek to realize this fullness of Joy as the result of effort. This cannot be.... -- God Calling, November 4.
Every day presents an opportunity to love or to resist love...to let God or to stay stuck in self. All roads lead to God so neither way is wrong...one is just better than the other.
Counterintuitively, self-stuck is the better way for it invariably (slowly, painfully, but invariably) leads us to God. On the other hand, to "let God" is too often eyebrows-up knowledge alone which encourages ego to begin preaching. Believing we've got a lock on spiritual, we seek no deeper.
Every idea, every solution that is born in the reasoning mind, is still a self-determined objective. Even when right, if we're depending on our own self to carry it out, we're going down ego's rigidly righteous road again.
Every idea, every thought that comes unbidden and stills our questing heart is almost certainly God calling. We are lifted deeper by grace to continue our search for still more spiritual growth.
From my own recent experience, I know that to inadvertently look the fool humbles us, ah, but our unselfed laughter lets peace, love and joy out. Love of laughter is a healer and passes on as loving kindness to the next one in need.
He goes before us to make the crooked places straight...with love and laughter.
Thank you.
