GOD'S WILL, GOD'S WAY...WAIT

God is not found in the soul by adding anything, but by a process of subtraction. -- Meister Eckhart

Realization a-dawning...subtraction is sometimes another word for nonresistance. The test of our willingness to resist not is to actively wait without effort...with a tish of gratitude before the end result. 

This is the rough and rocky road to faith...to trusting a Higher Power as opposed to relying on our learned abilities. 

Learning to trust a Higher Power, we subtract our want from our will then sit and wait on the Lord. God's will, God's way makes itself known in God's good time. 

Using our life lessons, say in growing beans. we plant the seeds then water, feed, water, feed, water, feed...wait. In nature's good time, we get beans.

In short, plant beans, get beans...ah, but with God's will, we get more, better, beyond our ability to imagine...always for our benefit often when it least looks like it. 

Thank you.
