It is the concrete that we resist that will lead us free. This is from a note in my "God Calling," and whether it was a blinding flash of the obvious or me quoting someone else, I know not. But for sure it rings true...because that has been my experience.
Too many times have I dressed my demands up as prayer and gone to God, seeking release from a perceived problem (of my own making...invariably).
Until I learned the changing power of gratitude, I usually received (or perceived) no return on my poor, pitiful, puny investment of "Please do for me." Of course I figured God wasn't listening, wasn't on my side, wasn't even there. No. Those were the times when God, seeing no problem to fix, simply waited for me to divorce myself from my own wants...and awake.
In other words, we must needs detach from our ego-driven will of want and attach to God's promise, All that I have is thine.
Let go and let God...then our cup runneth over.
Thank you.
