We are punished by our wrongs more than for our wrongs. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, August 16, 2018
After a fairly sleep-deprived night, I awakened remembering that it is not the various ankle-biters that are my culprits, it is my resistance to them. My uncalm mind is the true culprit, goosed by the nattering thought that I seek to trust the higher consciousness within me...which, independent of my feeling it, is growing deeper as it...yes!...raises.
Again quoting Fr Richard: Don’t waste your time calculating degrees of imperfection! Imperfection is the pattern that draws forth the Divine Mercy.
Blessed mercy! There is the source of my peace. It is akin to my long-ago BFO that fear is God in camouflage...for nothing turns us to God faster than fear.
I sense gratitude awakening in me...I am grateful for my unrest, that uncalm mind, as it brings my focus back to God...to God's will, God's way.
Those four words come and...voila!...my worried mind is righted. God is so good to me...for me.
Thank you.
