Our own idea for still more spiritual growth is not of God, it is a self-determined objective. As Easwaran's "Words to Live By" has it in today's reading: ...what the mind wants to see ... is the profit or momentary gratification it is interested in.
The blinding flash of the obvious that spiritual growth is nearly always counterintuitive has opened my mind to acceptance of the is-ness of each minute. Analyze not, fret not, see with the mindset of this, too, is of God.
We cannot for a certainty know the outcome of the next second one second before it happens...God's will, God's way. We only realize that in looking back.
Not knowing but joyously living Now opens the gate to the Secret Garden of God.
Joy is the sovereign balm for all the ills of the world, the spirit-cure for every ailment. -- "God Calling" today.
NOTE: The above is my today's journal entry written at 5:00 AM. Now to live that. I love and laugh and joy in the fact that I know the words...I may not live them to the max till the next lifetime or two, but I know I'm heading in the right direction. God is so good to me.
Thank you.
