The Real Pain

11/6/2018

1 Comment

 
In Step 3, we made that decision to turn our will and our life over to the care of God as we understand God. This can be painful.  

But the pain I suffer is not actually in turning my life and will over to the God of my understanding.  
My pain is in my resistance to turning my life and will over to the God of my understanding.

Join us on Saturday, November 10, when I’ll say more about this distinction!

It is true that when I refuse to accept the moment and live it with my hand in the hand of God, I suffer from all kinds of negative responses, thoughts, arrogance, judging others, self-pity, wll of which makes me miserable.
Whereas, if I live the moment with God, my response can be one of silence first, breathing acceptance, and something like "Well God what do we do with this", or "God what can I learn from this" or, "God I can't handle this you take over" or "Thanks God for the chance to be humble" etc.
