ON GIVING GOD A GRIN

I just read a recent post of mine, and this sentence sang to me: ...living doubt-free is a given when we live by grace and by God.

I had to ponder that again...to ponder living doubt-free, which led to a mind-trip. 

I wondered if it is possible to live entirely doubt-free...the operative words being to live. I'm reasonably certain we can exist...there are hermits, singletons, loners and others who are as happy as they choose to be all alone, relatively stress free. 

It seems to me that living without people-contact, as in service to other than oneself, is virtually being the God of one's own understanding. In other words...God-less. To me, that is a life lived in unacknowledged fear.

I doubt not that allowing life to say us nay or to give us our atta girl is essential to our spiritual growth.

As an aside, it's a wonderful way to develop a sense of humor...the one God sends to guide us seems more often than not to be a less-than for Heaven's sake. Ah, lessons learned.

Don't tell me God doesn't enjoy a good grin.

Thank you.
