ON GIVING GOD A GRIN...PERFECT PEACE

This then is our walk: [To] sit with and be present to this light, shining into our own lives in the midst of the unresolved matters of our hearts. -- CAC faculty member James Finley, "Richard Rohr Daily Meditations," December 29, 2025

That is another indirectly direct answer to my ever-questioning mind. Quite simply...it is to trust. To trust that the God of my understanding is on the field for me, for my benefit.

That is my always, rarely spoken, prayer...to trust that which I believe I believe: That God can and will, sought or not, do for me that which I cannot do for myself...always for my benefit.

The great lesson that opened my heart, mind and soul to the truth of that is that answered prayers rarely come looking good...as in, looking like what we had in mind when we first realized the need for a specific prayer.

The reasoning mind's idea for a personally answered prayer is it brings peace, love, joy and looking good all in one package...with looking good holding the edge.

Here's my peace...I suspect my best thinking likely gives God a grin. Here's my happy...feeling God grinning on me. 

That is love pure and simple. Best part is it flows both ways.

Thank you.
