As I read a friend's note this morning about a member of her family's mental illness, another friend's physical illness came to mind...along with my continuing frustration with this Tablet: What if they are all the same to God? What if one is not more deserving than another of God's grace?
Sylvia still must do the spiritual working through of her resistance to her family member's condition; Joan still must do the physical work of chemo, etc.; I still have to do the mental work of learning to use my Tablet. Mental, physical, spiritual...same old, same old, i.e., the good news.
Yet we can...indeed, we are commanded to...rest in the assurance that God has our back. Here, though, is the hard lesson for learning: Our perceived result may not be God's perfect result.
Our job is to open our mind to two facts: (1) God's will shall prevail and (2) his will is and must be better than what we are perceiving.
Out of our reasoning mind into God consciousness.
Thank you.
