All worry is of the egoic mind denying the evidence of God's already perfected work.
From today's God Calling: But the inner urge of Life within...carries out that task. The Kingdom of Heaven is like unto this.
Have read God Calling for nearly fifty years, and today's entry affirms yesterday's BFO as if it had been preordained...oh, wait. It had been! That's the point!
James Finley in Fr Richard's Daily Meditation today: To summarize Thomas Merton, there is something within you that is not subject to the brutalities of your own will, for it is that in you that belongs entirely to God.
Again, a black-and-white affirmation of my BFO that one inner-realized thought of a need belongs entirely to God...which fulfills the need in the instant.
My yesterday's BFO is my pearl beyond price, the assurances from God Calling and Merton are back-ups that I have read before, believed as I read the words, but ego, using self-centered fear, held me in thrall.
To receive the word from within, that the very thought of a need I just became aware of is already met by God, fills me with awe...with gratitude and awe.
There it is...the proven patience of God. And what is that patience but love...infinite love?
Thank you.
