The paradox of crash and burn mirrors life itself. We try with a will to avoid life's rougher spots, but when we fail...when we crash and burn...we often find it is the very roughest happening that leads us to salvation.
Common sense dreads the idea of crash and burn...we go to almost any lengths to avoid it. We pray obsessively for this cup to pass, yet when it does not pass, acceptance, the pearl beyond price, blooms in the ashes of that crash and burn.
Face it, when we hit bottom and then go lower than we knew was possible, acceptance is all that is left for us spiritually.
Those who refuse spiritual aid often choose suicide. I was afraid I'd screw that up, too, and wind up a vegetable so I sit not in judgment. I'm just gutbucket grateful that I was led to a solution spiritual in nature that lifted me out of self into Self...for the benefit of others.
The paradox is that being led out of the ashes by God and by grace, we still try with a will to avoid our fear of crash and burn...and that self-determined objective is the bane.
We learn to trust that Thy Will, Thy Way is the road to acceptance for that is the home of peace of mind. Since crash and burn has led us to God, what's to fear?
Thank you.
