God may be right.
A friend once declared that he'd discovered how to avoid arguments with his daughter...their relationship having been based on arguments, apparently. His fix-it: She walks into any room he's in, and he says to himself, "She may be right." Before she opens her mouth.
I heard his cure, and I knew that could work for most relationship problems...which has come to my aid recently.
Since last August when I had a TIA, I've had niggling health problems. After more than enough of them, I found myself questioning how these could be God's will. Which is a valid question to the reasoning mind...I'm sitting here right now with a covid cough and plugged-up ears for which I have minor surgery scheduled this week.
Egoic mind gathers steam: In what world is this covered by still more spiritual growth? How can this be for my benefit? When is God's will for me going to be rainbows and roses?
Blinding flash...God may be right. God's will, God's way.
Right then and there, plugged ears, hacking and sniffing beside the point, my quarreling thoughts quiet themselves, and I feel peaced.
We suffer physically, mentally, spiritually as we shuck the self-protective outer shield of the material mind. Reason as long as we choose, but until we accept that reason is a cover for resistance, we will not know peace.
We do not regret openly doubting...like fear, doubts turn us to God, opening the door through which God flows freely. Doubts hidden give over to ego...and there, the ego's bar to God.
Resist not...welcome!
Thank you.
