NOTHING IS WASTED...GOD HAS HIS USES

My recent entries on my flashbacks re the death of my friend, Jim McG, have led to new insights.

Today, I am living the lesson that the pearls we take in at any given time may not be useful until later...and we do not get to determine any part of the lesson...neither the time nor the message.  

The unselfed love I wrote about a couple days ago...wrote about as a blinding flash, i.e., brand new to me...I am learning from my God Calling notes began a full year ago...and I named it an epiphany then! 

My August 5 note from last year: '23 to hold to my epiphany of selfless love through Jim's death. My  note this morning following that '23 note: '24 now named, unselfed love...thank you. (And I did no naming...the words unselfed love came as I wrote them.)

This tic-toc is important to me...why is unknown as yet. All I know is that every morning a new piece of information is showing up in my dailies that I have read over the years. The information was of no knowable use to me until it was knowable, and the Father within controls the time and the message. 

That leads to this morning's God Calling message: Refilling with the Spirit is a need. That dwelling apart, that shutting yourself away in the very secret place of your being...away alone with Me.

There...the spiritual explanation for my recent withdrawing...that which I've tried so hard to overcome, thinking it was a leftover from the pandemic when we were all shut-ins. Being a loner, that period felt very comfortable to me, and I thought I needed to break out from that...yet again. 

I did use that alone time for spiritual work...to read, study, wirelessly share more deeply with others. Now, I see that time was part of God's plan. Proof further that nothing is wasted in God's world...the material world has a pandemic, God uses it for our good.

There...an excellent example of why I'm a believer that the God of my understanding is a favorite description of God...anyone can think we're bat-blank crazy, but nobody can take our own understanding away.

Thank you.
