WE HOLD TO THE LITTLE YES WITHIN

I awoke this morning with a heavy sense of dread. As I wrote in my journal, "I have a sense of dread that my life has 'nothing to show for it.'"

Comes God now to my aid: That sense of dread is material mind, and you are powerless over the feeling coming, but I am here...your need is My power. 

There...that's how God comes calling...our need is his calling card. 

Our material mind/spiritual mind U-bie is exactly there. Our material mind, filled with fear, begs God to take the fear away; spiritual mind accepts fear as God's invitation to settle us. 

We are brought again to the fact that nothing turns us to God faster than fear...kiss it on the lips in gratitude as we are peaced.

I was comforted and somewhat awed when I came to my first daily reading, Fr Richard's Daily Meditation, for it spoke directly to my earlier fear-thoughts:

The soul is that part of us that has never doubted and that has always said yes to God. It’s in everyone. Even in those moments when we are filled with negativity, there’s a little yes that holds on. That’s what mystics like Julian of Norwich have become aware of and the place to which they return. They trust that infinite yes that shines within all of us. 

Thank you.
