PATIENCE, THE HOLY GRAIL

God's forgiveness is ever with us, is ours even as we breathe. It is our free will that blocks our realization of that.

The realization of God's forgiveness is in the free gift of love we give and we get. Ah, but here comes another hard lesson a-learning: It also is in the ever more rocky roads we must needs walk. There. That's the glue that binds us to our lessons, to the realization that God's love and forgiveness are already ours, those rocky roads built entirely by our own defects. We are after all the source of all our woes.

We must never forget, however, that our defects are another of God's gifts to us...why else would we have first sought God? Why would we still seek God? Reminds me of the World War II song, Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition. Defects are a no-no; ammunition is a no-no...go beyond reason to God.

It's all about patience and learning to use our patience is learning to trust our God.

Thank you.
