God Speaks
My foolish notion is that those who direct us too exactly based on what happened to them rob us of surprise and wonder, restrict us by their frames. In our desperation, we often collude. No matter. This, too, passes. For the Lord comes as a thief in the night.
At one extreme, many people completely shy away from freedom. Instead, I angrily think, they cling to rules, intellectualize, honor convention more than God's open love.
Less extreme, most of us postpone our own true good, seeing that we must live in wilderness, in unfamiliar terriory- Reality. But, whether by emotionless, increasing entry or by a violent upheaval, high feeling, surely we can learn to be as God simply is. Haven't we been specially invited - by birth and his creation- specially addressed?
Sometimes, so addressed, we stumble in, without desire, device or premeditation, while fishing, doing the laundry, tuning up the car or in prayer or meditation. We, too, through unmerited favor, can be reborn.
