The two little birds in the nest right outside my door have recently learned to fly. They are still so young, but they have taken to flight without a hitch. I was surprised to see, however, that the parents are still busy flying back and forth to feed the little guys. I guess they haven’t gotten the how-to-catch-insects lesson yet.
And so it is with me. I am being taken—lesson by lesson, closer and closer, to “oneing” with God. (Julian of Norwich) I would like it to be NOW, but there are many lessons I still must learn.
Lately my Angels have been shining a Light on my need to CONTROL. That shows up in many ways, but in the last week I’ve had times when frustration, impatience, and even anger showed up. Is anyone else affected by our current situation that way?
The phrase, “Let go and let God” has come to mind. It rolls so easily off the tongue, but when the lesson is how to actually DO it—not so easy. Letting Go 101 is tough, but just as difficult for my human self is Letting God 102.
LETTING GO is about the very human need to CONTROL. How will the world survive without my help? my best ideas? And— I need to be in control of my life after all. Oh my! In this time of COVID I for one am being shown that we have very little control.
It’s so easy to say I trust in God, but LETTING God be in control (because God is anyway!) is the biggie for many of us. To really BELIEVE that God is in charge …to TRUST that we are loved and cared for…that we are NEVER alone, is the lesson.
The truth is, we are ALREADY ONE-WITH GOD, but we forgot that truth when we came into the world. Our lesson—in this Earth School—is to REMEMBER it. To know that God’s got us. If we could see all the help and Helpers God provides to guide us through each day, we would never fear anything again.
When I do LET GO and LET GOD—and feel that TRUST down deep in my bones—I am transformed. There is an amazing sense of peace and freedom that washes over me and permeates my whole being! There is also a beautiful awareness that I am completely safe—no matter what happens!
This I seek in every moment now, to surrender my will to the Father as Jesus did.
Not my will, but thine be done.
Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
