OUR FLUBS, TOO, ARE FOR OUR BENEFIT

I am slowly realizing that the most unexpected fact in true spiritual growth is how much we already knew before we learned from authentic spiritual teachers. It is only after it comes to us afresh that we can recognize it as already within us, waiting to lead us deeper to our higher self.

I can understand, as Fr Richard posits, the material world is the hiding place for the spiritual. Of course it is...our eyes can evidence the material, our Soul must transmute the spiritual.

Making that point clearer is my note in today's God Calling: 2014 - BFO...I must do for the Lord...to do for him, I must let him lead.

I realized that nearly ten years ago, and today I can see the times I got away from Self into self, and spent too much time regretting...yet now I see the flubs, too, were for my benefit. 

I learned lessons I did not know were mine to learn...spent time being humbled by my own missteps, and today know them as the gold in my still more spiritual growth. 

Thank you
