It is not what is said to me, it is how I choose to hear it that defines my emotional life. -- note from my journal
Spiritual growth often comes unbidden and, more often than not, resisted...resisted as it turns us away from our known self to the unknown...the Self within.
To the strictly self-aware...think from birth to late teen years...we are spiritually unaware, unprepared, material minded. No wonder that how we hear defines us...when self is our center, self is our reliance.
As our consciousness begins to open for the benefit of others, to the wants and needs of others, our search for spiritual growth takes root. That realization blooms slowly...for which we will become grateful.
The slow-moving spiritual growth that we had prayed would hurry it up so we could quick get to sainthood is God going before us to make the crooked places straight.
Our awakening is born in that slow-moving spiritual growth when we realize that is God's will, God's way.
Thank you.
