RESIST NOT, WELCOME ALL...LOVE AND LAUGH

I tend to believe that my most important spiritual direction lives in We have ceased fighting everything and everybody.

I recall my resistance to that...pretty much the same reaction I had on first hearing Resist not evil. And my gutbucket jolt when I realized that they mean the same thing. 

I have never forgotten that...which is not to say I always remember it...it is just that when they come to mind, I feel God in their essence.

We must not forget that only we can access that for our benefit...and "for our benefit" essentially is for the benefit of others.

Same goes for Chief Joseph's heart-melting promise: I shall fight no more forever. Oh, to be able to promise that without egoic qualifiers whispering in our head. There...that is free.

Another reason to love and laugh...the assurance, He goes before us to make the crooked places straight. 

Thank you.
