'13 Whether summoned or not, God is here. -- note I wrote in my God Calling.
Reading that long-ago note opened further thoughts: Whether we know it or not, God is here. Whether we believe it or not, God is here. Whether we feel it or not, God is here. And here is wherever we be in the moment.
The paradox is our willingness to accept those facts as true is our block.
Our willingness says we got it; our realizing knows we have barely begun.
We slowly realize that our personal difficulty in accepting those truths is our perpetual reliance on reason. Meaning that our willingness is in our head. It must move down to our heart, to our belly, to our Soul. That movement is of God.
True acceptance comes unfettered...free and clear. It is God's gift.
We know it when we get it by the change in our attitude. We are no longer trying...crying and trying...we resist not, we accept, usually with love and laughter, meaning humbly. We may not realize it at the time or in the moment but as we look back...and we are graced with gratitude.
The hardest fact to make our own is the acceptance of that. Again, and yet again: We must go beyond reason to love...to acceptance...to God.
Thank you.
