GOD MEANT IT FOR GOOD

Is it possible for the Four Splits – body and mind, ego and soul, life and death, self and other – to be healed in this world, on this plane? That healing, that being made One, is necessary in order to know the fourth dimension.

I never seem to be able to feel any inside healing when I’m striving for inside healing. It seems I realize incredible healings within only after the fact. When I look back at my life,  I see some service I’ve given, some words I’ve spoken, some just being there I’ve done, and all of them were quite literally no big deal to me. But, in the after-the-fact, I recognize how my unplanned aid was used for the good of another.

That is humbling because quite often I also recognize my original motive, and, it was rarely for another…more likely, it was CYA on my part. Recognizing that interaction helps me recall less than wonderful things done to me. I get to refocus my first take, i.e., that there was a wrong done me, and see it as having been God’s gift to me.

Reminds me of Joseph’s punch line after his brothers sold him into slavery in Egypt. He later became the Pharaoh’s aide-de-camp, and the brothers came sniveling to him for help, apologizing for having done him dirt. His response was, “You meant it for ill, but God meant it for good.”

There’s our shortcut when someone steps on our toes seemingly without provocation. Remind ourselves s/he meant it for ill but God meant it for good…then focus on passing God’s good on.

Thank You.
