ACCEPTANCE CANNOT BE SELF-WILLED

Instead of the people being cast aside for their evil ways, the subversion takes place in God’s own heart. -- Sister of St. Joseph Catherine Nerney

There is the fix-it for all wrongs that we perceive as coming at us...specifically warped relationships. Instead of casting the other aside for wronging us, we look to God beating in our heart and the change takes place...we accept. 

By grace and by God we realize that only our mind needs be changed...or exchanged, in a word. Acceptance is the catalyst that exchanges our mind...from material (right/wrong) to spiritual (One'd).

Acceptance cannot be self-willed...but willingness counts, as in, being willing to be wrong without a thought of payback. Whoa...there's a whole new level to dread even as we know to pray for it.  

The material mind does not give up just because it needs to...way too often we find it still wanting hip, slick and cool. Love and laugh.

Love is the only thing that transforms the human heart. -- Fr Richard Rohr

Thank you.
