Blinding flash of the obvious: Take the me out of any resistant thought, and ego is peaced.
"Resistant thought" is fear. That needs to perk in our head; then, as/if/when ready, drip down to our heart. It is a glib thought until realization nudges us, and we get a glimpse of the promise...ego peaced.
Is there any greater daily-life promise than to have a peaced ego?
It is the rough and rocky road toward peace that stays us. Well hidden and open for any to see...that road, too, is fear. Long ago lesson: There is only love and fear. All else falls under one of the two.
To take the me out of our resistant thoughts doesn't even sound simple, but it is so beyond that. Reason dictates the Herculean effort that must be made...and we're not doing it wrong when we do try. That's how we learn. How we learn that we're going down that wrong road again when we set about trying to fix our self.
Hardest lesson, praying for God to do it is still stuck in self. Our Father knows our needs and has them all ready already. We pray our thank you for God's will, God's way.
It takes courage to trust the faith we have, to hold gratitude close, closer than fear. It never seems enough...enough to banish our fear. And it is not...neither fear nor love can be banished. But we are not in it to win it, we are in it with trust that God has already won.
There is nothing to fight for, everything to live for...unresisting. Unafraid. Peaced. Loving.
Thank you.
