I suspect that we get the leaders who mirror what we have become as a nation. They are our shadow self for all to see. -- Fr, Richard Rohr, "Daily Meditation," March 24, 2026
Whoa! There it is, my unacknowledged worst fear walking: we get the leaders who mirror what we have become.
I am the source of all my woes. When that idea flashed through me, I knew it for Truth. I knew in that moment that we each are the source of our living, thinking, doing, being, that a Higher Power lives within each of us to guide our every thought and action when we turn away from self to It.
Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find.... == Matthew 7:7
The hard part for most of us is remembering to ask, to seek...that is the I want what I want when I want it living of the self on parade.
It seems to take a long time to, in truth, come to believe...even when we are sincerely trying to come to believe. It is our surrender that leads us to acceptance...to finally accept that it is our trying that blocks God's will, God's way
To remember. To remember God. To remember and believe from our toenails up that God is with us, within us. That God can and will if sought and has a better way than we do, no matter how much we love our way.
This fairly well describes my still more spiritual growth to this day...try with a will, surrender, which transmutes into acceptance, pray thank You, and know peace.
Until the next time.
There is the comfort...there is no cheap spiritual growth, but the price is paid for us by our spiritual growth.
God is so good to us.
Thank you.
