When we hear or read a truth and connect with it, often without further thought we mentally make it our own. We memorize it, quote it by rote, preach it...and get agitated when another hears it from us and quotes it as their own...without "attribution."
Our first mistake is not allowing God's will, God's way to make it our own, i.e., by our suffering for it. A hundred times out of a hundred (to quote my friend Natalie), our suffering is us showing our bum in public by whatever means we...unknowing...choose to take.
Our second mistake is not accepting that getting agitated when we are not given just props is purely ego doing its thing...we become rigid, righteous and right, and we stand on it.
Error births salvation, or, resentment aborning with God's will, God's way following in the lead.
Face it, God's will, God's way usually gets its start from our ego's power-driven wants. The spiritual clean-up crew ensures that we need never regret a resolved resentment for the resolution is always of God.
He goes before us to make the crooked places straight. (Doesn't promise there'll be no crooked places.)
Thank you.
