Freedom is not the capacity to be what we are not, but the capacity to be fully who we already are.... -- Fr Richard Rohr, Daily Meditation, January 1, 2025
The freedom to be who we already are using God's yardstick is my spiritual goal. The old say what you mean and mean what you say still stands the test of time, but it, too, must grow spiritually.
We can no longer speak from our want-to alone...say what you mean and mean what you say is now filtered through God's will, God's way. This is another "impossible" until we let our self be guided into it...only nonresistance makes it not that difficult.
Like most spiritual breakthroughs, it seems impossible even as we're doing it, and we don't get the thrill of victory until we've been living it when it's no longer victory, it is a way of life.
Hmm...ego-reduction in depth realized. A spiritual two-fer. Don't tell me God isn't on our side.
We have a choice about this year, 2025. We can view it with dread as if it is hanging round our neck like an albatross or welcome it as coming in on the wings of a dove.
Let's go with the dove and get grateful.
Our marching orders: Work with the Father within, and let it be so...Happy New Year.
Thank you.
