The long-ago blinding flash of the obvious, God's hand is in it when both sides come out the winner, is leading to a deeper understanding of the spiritual nature of "winner."
We must begin the process of learning how to accept that another's idea can stand with our own idea and both be God's will, God's way...neither right nor wrong but entirely acceptable as is.
My self-determined result was that both sides would merge in agreement as one. They may, but not necessarily. In any single situation, each side has their own understanding of God's will, God's way.
We must come to freely accept each understanding as equally valid. I doubt this can be done by self-will...that's why it's called God's will.
My breakthrough came with my car being towed, and my friend coming to my aid. I praised him to high heaven, named him an angel straight from heaven because that is exactly how I felt in my time of need. According to him, however, "I just gave the lady a ride."
I had the devil's own time letting that be...or letting go of my idea of angel-in-disguise.
Comes the Light...I did not need to fold the angel wings; he did not need to upgrade his ho-hum opinion. Both are of God...legit and spiritual, spiritually legit.
God's hand is in it when both sides come out the winner...and a winner joys in acceptance.
Thank you.
