WE GO TO GOD FOR GOD, AND THAT IS ALL

Lessons learned...lessons a-learning: 

If the only prayer we ever pray in our lifetime is 'thank you' that would suffice. 

As long as we keep praying to be kinder, more loving, more generous, less judgmental, the more we deny the kindness we have, the love we are already filled with, etc.

Grace is always a humiliation for the ego.

The 'last' really do have a head start in moving toward 'first,' and those who spend too much time trying to be 'first' will never get there.

Spiritual growth is essentially counterintuitive...it really doesn’t make any logical sense.

We must go beyond reason to love.

Yet even when we have a strong sense of spirituality and relationship with the sacred, we can experience anguish, doubt, despair, misery, and darkness. 

 'Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me'...thy rod and thy staff are love and laughter,

'He prepares a place before me in the presence of mine enemies'...my enemies are my rues, regrets and remorses, and it is God who prepares the place before me in their presence. That which I ask God to lift is God's gift for my benefit.

We go to God for God...and that is all. 

And so much more...a blessing each and every one.

Thank you.
