The Joy of Perpetual Guidance. Wait for Guidance in every step. Wait to be shown My way.... All the responsibility of Life taken off your shoulders.... [T]he wonder of this--a God-guided life. - God Calling, December 13, 2023
My recent blinding flash of the obvious, All our changes will now be God-guided...trust, is affirmed.
With that recent BFO in mind, God Calling today is particularly meaningful to me. I shared my BFO with a friend just yesterday, and today's entry puts the Period to it. I am grateful it is called The Joy of Perpetual Guidance.
To me, this means that all my new self-determined objectives, no matter how spiritual I believe them to be, will now be put through the crucible. When they emerge, in this lifetime or the next, they will be my gold...my trust in God.
I take Fr Richard's Daily Meditation today for my initial directions. Quoting teacher Mirabai Starr about mending our broken world: How are we to do this? The answer is: with every act of loving-kindness and generosity. ... It means slowing down enough to let the pain of the world all the way into our hearts, allowing our hearts to break open, and acting from that broken-open space. It means stepping up with humility, with curiosity, with love....our loving, kind thoughts count too...[they] make a difference. They help mend the world.
There. Necessary suffering again shows true as the Way of the Lord...not for self, not for glory, not to get but to give with humility, with curiosity, with love.
A must-remember: ...our loving, kind thoughts count too. They help mend the world.
Thank you.
