Here's me...again preaching to me that we must prove our truth. Well, at least I'm not discovering how wrong I was...we really must prove that which our favorite spiritual guru is quoted as having said and we read and agreed with and quote a lot.
The proof of that is how often I quote the Bible...which I admit (brag?) I do not now nor have I ever read, don't understand, and don't intend to study. But when the likes of Meister Eckhart or Joel Goldsmith quote from it, and I connect, I quote it endlessly...just as if I've experienced it.
Ah, comes the anxiety-ridden light...again.
It is these rough and rutted roads that we walk that prove our trust is of God...every tear, every fear is our God-given right of passage. Out of self into Self. God selected, God protected. See how easily the words flow? Uselessly it turns out until ego suffers, hits crash and burn, and rises a humbled, happier child of God.
All of which takes time...and more time...and time still. Face it, if we're keeping time, we're wasting time and effort...but that, too, is a God-gift. It takes as long as it takes, and every minute is blessed by God even as we curse it.
I know I am in the midst of my current crash and burn...but I know I'm heading in the right direction by the very direction I'm consciously headed...toward still more spiritual growth.
God can and will if sought. (God can and will whether sought or not, I add with fingers crossed.)
Thank you.
