TRUST GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY

Perhaps those whom we value least have the most to teach. -- Barbara Holmes  

If you want to learn to love better, you should start with a friend who you hate. -- Nikka, age 6 

In talking with friends, I'm finding that many of us are having the devil's own time getting "back to normal" after the pandemic shutdown. We have agreed, half joking but way too true, that we need to be resocialized. 

Seeking the sliver of gold, I realize why my inner voice has been whispering to me, "Go small" and "Littler is better." The reasoning mind, receiving that, gets a tish nervous.

God, being always on the job, comes to our aid and reminds us of what Nikka, at age 6 (!), said about love (quoted above). We recall having to accept that just because it didn't make perfect sense to us, didn't mean it wasn't true. Came the realization...in essence, Nikka's advice could lead us free from resistance to anything. 

Plain speak: If you want to learn to love, start with that which you hate is resist not evil.  

That expanded our understanding of Holmes' quote...perhaps that which we value least has the most to teach us...or, even further, that which we most resist is our best teacher.

All of this comes down to our contention that the spiritual mind flows in the opposite direction of the material mind...unconcern for self spiritually transmutes to concern for others. 

There it is...welcome the trust we seek as already ours to give.

Thank you.
