We are ever being assured and reassured that there is a place within...within our own self...where grace resides, God's hidey hole if you will. Our great mistake is in trying to figure that out in order to make it true. It is in the trying that the ego lives...and calls itself spiritual growth.
It is not the fear of the pain of surrender that keeps us from holding our nose and taking a leap of faith into grace. It is self-absorption. The self wrapped in ego can never agree to the possibility of pain no matter the promise of peace to come...later on...through pain. No, the ego's siren song of nothingness draws us deeper into self-absorption, that's all.
"God can and will intervene in my life in my behalf." Now, to get out of the way and let that happen.
Thank you.
