Trusting love may be the hardest thing we will ever do. A lifetime of learning has led me to believe that we need to be open to love by being less self-protected.
The spiritual change is our need to give, not get, love. We are born with love inside, ready to be tapped, but we spend our time and energy trying to get love from rather than to give love to.
Interestingly, as I was pondering this, I came across a previous post of mine in which I had written:
To love the fire in the forest, the plague in the village, the rot in the fields...for they are nothing but a call to surrender. I take heart in reading of those who lost everything in floods and fires, disasters of all kinds, and years later testify to that being the change that bettered their lives. In breaking them, it caused them to seek and receive help from a power greater than themselves.
We slowly move our belief from the head, into the heart, on down to our gut, further down to the soles of our feet. Then we stand on it!
When I read that this morning, I felt gobsmacked...it felt like new news, and it is enlightenment at its rawest, yet it had come to me, and I had written about it in 2016.
So I sat quietly and let me be opened to the fact that I more rather than less live that today...in effect, it is all about the worst shall be first. Holy moley...Jesus was right!
Clearly, God does his work within us while we are seeking to stay spiritually fit...to give over, to resist not, to trust...to trust not just God but people in general...as in, assume the best and try to be that.
We are bettered without knowing it...until we are given to do something totally out of our known character, and in wonderment we say, "That was not me."
Well, yes it was...it was the Father within us doing the works, proving the Father and I are one. There...the Man is right again. 🙏
Thank you.
