...you have to let God reveal your real faults to you, usually by falling many times, and by other people's opinions of you. -- Fr. Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," November 29, 2015
In a shortened sentence, there is our worst fear exposed as God's will, God's way. For that truth to walk free in our head and our heart requires that we change our mind.
Ah, there it is...the basic truth of still more spiritual growth: We cannot change our mind on want alone. Our want is self-will in camouflage...seemingly God's perfect will which benefits all, but underneath entirely for our benefit.
I'm convinced the only "cure" for that is to love it and laugh...then laugh more when our "love it" flips us the bird.
I'm convinced still more spiritual growth requires our complete capitulation to God's will, God's way without our knowing what that will show itself to be. For our good, of course, but who's kidding whom, God's will for our good rarely, if ever, comes looking good to our reasoning mind.
Again, we get The Answer: We must go beyond reason to God.
Leave Your Nets and Follow Me...I get it! From my eyebrows up, I've thought I got it, but today, It got me! Now, to remember: Just for today. Just for today I got it.
Thank You, Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all my angels.
Thank you.
