BARED TO THE BONE...BY GRACE

My morning blinding flash of the obvious: More and more you will find less and less is more than more. 

I am reading a book that so fits me, fits my consciousness now, that I know it was hand-picked by my Spirit for me...sent to me by a friend who did not even mention it to me beforehand. 

Quoting from the book, here's this morning's Yes!: The whole point about...compassionate action is that it cannot be defined by us, simply because it can never originate with us -- it must always originate as an impulse which is engendered in us by God.

The book, in short, is a how-to manual on becoming bared to the bone.  

Whether we knew it or not, that is what we have been walking toward, working for, shucking our shields for...to become bared to the bone. It is the bared self that finds God, again quoting, directing us through intuition and inspiration, to take certain actions, and that God is also giving us the power to do what we are being guided to do.

According to me, seeking still more spiritual growth is living a turned-over-to-God life, and living a turned-over-for-me life is led by ego. A spiritually turned-over life is God-directed; a me-directed life is the proverbial trainwreck in the process of happening.

We learn early that talk is cheap, it is doing that counts...with our immediate But how?? following.  Now is the time for living that which we've talked for so long...we are willing to live give over, give up, give in. 

Uh-oh. We are bared to the Soul, yet find the impenetrable egoic mind awaiting. 

In trust, we pray thank you and realize that it is the bared self that finds God, again, directing us through intuition and inspiration, to take certain actions, and that God is also giving us the power to do what we are being guided to do.

For this we still...and ever shall...seek more spiritual growth, that through inspiration and intuition, God can and will give us the power to do what we are being guided to do. 

The burden is not ours, and we are no burden to God...in trust, God does for us.

Thank you.
