๐Ÿ˜” GOD*s guidance ๐Ÿ˜”

Posted: Thu, Nov 5, 2015 07:44:44 AM

not being a **GOD** kind of guy, it does not feel weird or forced for me to use GOD in my title today, or over and over again as i write this blog. truth be told, i have finally come to terms with the word GOD, and how it fits in my belief system and view of the spiritual world. amazingly, the harder i tried to accommodate GOD, the tougher it became and once i let go, accepted what i felt, everything fell into its proper place. one of my peers, shared specifically about how they ask for guidance at the meeting i did not want to attend and made a useless unplanned stop at, on my way home. not being mr spiritual, when i walked into the room, grumpy, hungry, tired and ready to kick back and veg, i was amazed that i was not put-off by what was shared. normally i would have been cringing inside, and yet, after they completed their 30 seconds, a great calm descended upon me, and i felt as though things were finally going to be okay, that my spiritual view could include that of everyone else's. all of a sudden, the notion i had been noodling with for a week now, made sense, and i could finally see past the end of my own nose.
i can say this, now when i listen for the voice of GOD, i need not cringe when i hear it, because i know that guidance is precisely what i need. this morning, i overslept and am running late, so i feel that GOD's will for me right here and right now, is to wrap this up, grab a shower and head on down to work. it is after all a good day to go with the flow, whatever it may be.

Tao Te Ching

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯

The Tao Teh King, or The Tao and Its Characteristics
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge

Book 2

2) He (who knows it) will keep his mouth shut and close the portals
(of his nostrils). He will blunt his sharp points and unravel the
complications of things; he will attemper his brightness, and bring
himself into agreement with the obscurity (of others). This is called
'the Mysterious Agreement.'
