[The following is a reprint of my post of October 3, 2018.]
Idle thoughts: There is no bulletproof-shield-God between the material world and us...we will feel every bullet, every rotten egg, every snark...every hit, justified or unjustified. God is inside/outside so as each hit lands, it is depersonalized and does not stick but becomes nothingness. It is our trying to avoid incoming or to respond in kind to the incoming that invites the fight, and our fear takes hold.
Another idle thought There is no magic wand that God waves over the material me changing my every dread into his precious gift to me...transforming every fearful thought into a bye for me. That is whistling-by-the-cemetery thinking and mires us in self.
God lets us choose our own path...he goes before us to make the crooked places straight, but we must walk our chosen road, crooked places and all.
It is our thank you as we put one foot in front of the other each day that seals the deal. Thank you confirms to our own self that God is on the field, that wonderful and/or less-than-wonderful will come and it will go but naught will stick to us because it is not ours.
By grace and by God.
Thank you.
