GOD'S PATIENCE...EVER AND ALWAYS

I am grateful this morning to realize the God of my understanding in the midst of my recent self-willed upset. Thank you for giving me the challenge which led me to make my mistake then giving me the challenge to recover from that mistake by loosing it and letting it go...benefitting all parties concerned whether or not we all know it.

The biggie for me and for my ego Lucy: It is not mine to explain to anyone since, very likely, I've barely got it myself.

This was made clear to me by the verse in the Sermon, Matt 7:6, "Do not give dogs what is holy; and do not throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under foot and turn to attack you." My original understanding of that was, "Best not talk sobriety to a drinking drunk, it'll do nothing for them and leave me feeling trampled under foot." 

Today, it says to me, do not try to talk my version of God, the Sermon, spirituality to anyone without their specific request. Their specific request being for the purpose not for debate but to come to  understanding. Knowing which is which depends on my going to God for clarification...a thought-prayer will do it. 

Hmmm...a thought-prayer will do it. I wonder if that isn't true of any and all prayers...the flash of a thought is received and resolved by God; all the rest of our blather is probably ego trying to perfect what has already been solved, healed, made perfect.

I know God loves me by his very patience with me. We can know God loves us by his very patience with us. 

Thank you.
