SPIRITUAL DISCIPLINE...THE PATH WE CHOOSE

My morning request: "Please open my mind as to how I need handle my betrayed feelings toward both my mentor and my friend due to their clandestine actions concerning a serious matter of mine." 

Immediately after I made my request, I read "God Calling," and there my answer: 'When thy father [mentor] and mother [friend] forsake thee, then the Lord will take thee up.' This is a literal dependence on Me. 

My head and my heart felt the grace of gratitude as I prayed my thank you. 

Surprisingly, two words, spiritual discipline, came immediately to mind...surprising in that they answered a question I had not yet formed: What do I do and how do I do it to release the haunting call of 'Betrayed!'

As I pondered the reality of I See Me at the base of my turmoil, specifically that I should blame and shame them with their own guilt, came the Divine thought: Guilt is the white horse I See Me rides...and spiritual discipline holds the reins.

With that, I recalled that my spiritual discipline is all about meditating, until I get my click-click, on the fact that I am powerless over my own self, that only God can restore me to sanity and that I need to turn my will over to God...Now. 

This I know: My need, i.e., God's will, is for my mentor and my friend to walk free in my own thoughts...and my want, i.e., my will, needs to get out of the way if I am ever to be free of me. 

Spiritual discipline begins with thank you.

Thank you.
