Thank you for my everything just as it is right this very minute...the seen and the unseen.
To be clear, my everything is more about the unknown oncoming than the known here-and-now. The knowns are the goodies we can see (or others can see and envy, whispers my ego Lucy With The Football). Ah, but the unknowns, the feared what ifs, that which maybe out-in-the-ether that we know naught of, but, what if...? Thank you.
Then there are the unseens that fall into the God-only-knows...literally...category. We cannot know what gifts God has for us out there in the pipeline. We don't even consider what, or even that, they may be...how can we when they aren't...yet? Thank you.
If we give a thought to what God may have already gifted us with, that has not yet appeared, we're likely to go from hope for gold to dread of poverty, because we've learned, like Fitzgerald's rich, God is different from you and me. His gifts often appear to our rational mind to be dirtballs. Then we get to the other side, and there find that which we feared has materialized into our personal pearl of great price. That is when we realize love...that we personally have love within us, and it is God.
Comes the light, the greatest of God's gifts to us, his love of our own self personally, is only realized as ours when, and if and when, we pass it on. Pass it on to everyone...friend, of course, but enemy more so and more so.
According to me, the Sermon on the Mount is the How-To-Manual for doing love of others...all others. Hey...here comes a blinding flash of the obvious: There are no others! The Father and I are One...which is true for every single soul in the universe. We are One...enemy is just another word for I.
I Am that I Am.
Thank you.
