People waste so much time in seeking to work out what they see. I declare to you that in the seeing My purpose, all is done....the very sight is the power that clears away every obstacle along that range of vision. -- God Calling, April 14
My morning started with either an ego-lowering thought or a blinding flash: It is my 'me' that is dragging foot and calling it anxiety.
I've been feeling like a boatload of anxiety has floated into my life. I've thought of it as "the 80s" and gently sweat through it. Anxiety, however, has its own will and way. It brings favorite fears with it and reminds me that God is not available on demand.
A favorite quote, we must go beyond reason to love, is getting baptized in the river of realization...I quote but do I do? Do I go beyond reason to love?
Faith, guided by anxiety, earns her wings!
I have just read again: We must remember that the peace we long for is within, a spark of the divine that resides within each of us. We need to risk opening to the wild places [beyond the security of our material mind] which invites greater reliance on God: The God of wild places requires risk. (With my additions bolded, I lifted this Tony Jones quote from Fr Richard's Daily Meditation of April 22, 2024)
I hear the Word...The Father and I are One. I risk feeling righted! I pray Thank You. I am peaced.
Thank you.
