True growth in holiness is a growth in willingness to be loved and to love.
We do not get to choose to whom we give love. Of spiritual necessity often we will be given the less-than, the least, the Oh No people, places and things...and we will resist. That's how we learn that resistance is egoic pride...which is not for praying away but loving anyway.
To love is to welcome life just as it shows up for us. My inner awakening to love was my realizing the gift is to resist not, to welcome when life shows up appearing dirty, smelly and needy.
Realization that we are on the right road, heading in the right direction begins as everything in our life appears to be turning upside-down and heading backwards. That is when realization awakens within and we know it is our angel who slaps us upside the head or kisses us on the lips...and realization seeps ever deeper within us. Our lesson is aborning again, deeper.
We do not need to know what awaits us. We know whatever comes is of God, is for our benefit, and even as it passes on, is also beneficial for others...of whom we know naught and may never know.
Passing thought: Good needs no glory...it is its own.
Thank you.
