We are given the opportunity...ah, but how often do we accept the gift? What is the first thought we have on being the opportunity to practice any new thing?
Being given that opportunity often brings the feeling of trepidation...fear of failure, looking the fool. That is ego on the move; just knowing that does not stop ego. That is usually our first stumbling block...when confronted, ego often speaks louder than good sense.
To quote Amy Frykholm, the practice of 'beholding' anything takes desire and discipline -- and what is 'beholding' but contemplation or deep reflective thought?
Ah, we know these truths, but how well do we live them?
I have learned to give credit for every second that my mind is reflecting God's will, God's way...too often that is just a second, but it counts!
We go to God for God, and that is All.
Thank you.
