TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN...IN SELF

Growing, our inside growth, is of God. We cannot dictate it, direct or control it...we can only live it whether, as we are living it, we are knowing it or not. The promise, spiritual in nature, is that we will realize it in God's good time.

This morning I realized a sense of feeling "free at last," that my low-grade anxiety had folded its tent and moved on. 

Then I read my note in God Calling from 2015, "....This feels like freedom at last." Eight years later, same free-at-last feeling.

That caused me pause, a pause filled with a sense of peace and purpose. Not self-generated but realized as present. I knew I was in a spiritual place...experiencing inner growth, of God.

My morning meditation on the 23rd Psalm came to mind, specifically, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, together with Thou prepares a place before me in the presence of mine enemies. I recalled my early realization that the Psalm is not a one-day wonder. It is a Thou art with me one-day-everyday promise. 

So that when not if we are feeling fearful, down-and-out, all alone, we recall that nothing turns us to God faster than fear. We are calmed knowing our inner growth is using the material mind to remind us that God is ever on the field. 

Plain and simple: Turn around, don't drown...in self. 

Thank you.
