HAPPY, JOYOUS, FREE...GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY

It is a comfort that there are words, ideas, truths that, seemingly, we stumble upon and in a flash we know this is evidence that we already have it, have always had it within. We recognize our spiritual growth is growing us.

We know (from experience!) that if we don't rely on a Power greater than ourselves, by whatever name we choose to call it, we're going to live feeling peeved...not to mention wronged. There it is...our ego leading our suffering self.

Ego always legislates for itself. Clearly, with a not-always-right-just-never-wrong ego, spiritual growth goes begging. Somebody is going to lose, and it is that fear, of our losing, that breeds resentment. 

Resentment is the ego's livelihood...without resentment, it'd be ego going begging. To send ego begging is, to quote Rohr, to trust descending religion where the primary language is unlearning, letting go, surrendering...serving others. 

According to me, descending religion is self entrusted to the care of God...freed, we serve others without forethought, preplanning or trepidation. 

Happy, joyous and free...God's will, God's way.

Thank you.
