I wrote this church blog back in May 2017.
I was querying the nature of ambition and desire in relation to the lifestyle Jesus commands…
“Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life? Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest? Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of it’s own.”
Live for the day with natural, genuine appreciation comprised of internal peace and joy by giving sincere thanks for the simplest of things: clean air, the ability to communicate, vitamin C…Plan life wisely, exceed service expectations at work, but expect NOTHING in return. Hope for communal peace with co-workers, friends, and family, and as much as it is possible be peaceable with all through integrity. ‘Unfairness’ will hit us all. For some, the face they’ve always shown will mutate. For others who understand the force that is ‘unfairness,’ the face will remain the same…
Sincere, authentic gratitude emerges when we recognise what we don’t deserve.
Day 143 – Self-Protection Devices that FAIL.
Presumption, assumption, speculation, and psychological evaluation provide us a sense of control, pre-understanding and therefore self-protection in the face of possible disappointment. But where they FAIL is in the protective barrier they create, that can potentially obstruct the REAL TRUTH of a situation before it’s had an opportunity to be revealed.
