Seek joy in God and peace within; seek to rest in the good, the true, and the beautiful. It’s the only resting place that also allows us to hear and bear the darkness. Hard and soft, difficult and easy, painful and ecstatic do not eliminate one another; they actually allow each other. -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditations, October 11, 2024
Blinding flash of the obvious: This is what I am living today...in my unsteady, stumbling, bumbling way but ever forward...with detours.
Is it self-will that keeps interrupting questioning whether I am doing "it" right? Or is it God nudging me on...right or wrong?
Lesson long-time learning, in the end right or wrong, God perfects it for our benefit. Yet. I See Me natters, what if this is still self-will and I'm doing a physical harm by not seeing a doctor asap? Lord, hear my prayer, thank you.
Early realization: We either throw in with God one hundred percent, or we sit by the wayside and wait and worry. Growing realization...there are times when to sit and wait and worry is God's will, God's way.
New realization: Whatever way we are doing life at the moment is God's will, God's way...let it be. Trust.
I do have enough life experiences to trust my instincts now. My sit and wait on the Lord is right, and I trust it, wobbly as it is in me. If it is not God's will, God's way, i.e., right, I'll find out soon enough and that too will be of God and for my benefit.
Thank you.
