The blinding flash of the obvious that takes so very long to grasp is making that choice is a longtime birthing...then it's the rest of our life a-growing. We can never stop deliberately choosing to be instruments of peace...mentally, physically and spiritually. Although life being life, we must and do take breaks...then get uncomfortable enough to realize we've yet again "broke" too long...and get back to learning to live a turned-over life.
To the reasoning mind, it seems almost too daunting to even try for. Kinda like a dirge with no rhyme nor rhythm, the reasoning mind will ever resist that. Isn't there a theory called survival of the fittest? Who's kidding whom? Common sense tells us we're not going to get there giving over, giving up, giving in!
Which is precisely how and why we've come to the realization that building trust in the Lord is our only hope of moving up to a deeper place within. We are seeking to find our Father which art in Heaven, and like new-born calves learning to stand, we wobble. we fall, we strain to get up in order to wobble, to fall....
The wonder is that's doing it right...that's building trust. We are learning to trust the Father in our need to deliberately choose to be instruments of peace...wobble, fall, strain to get up to wobble, fall...all the while praying our thank you.
The pearl beyond price is that we know the deep need for the spiritual, and we are led to desire living a life of giving over, giving up, giving in. And for others. (Which may be advanced spirituality, but we never know the day or the hour when the bridegroom may come.)
Thank you.
