When we acknowledge our flaws, our weaknesses, our many insufficiencies it enables Our Father to begin constructing a better, and more rewarding life for those of us who beg Him for His assistance. All that Our Father asks of us, is that we let Him show us how best to cope with our life's more challenging moments.
The driver on the highway is safe not when He reads the signs, but when He obeys them. ~ A. W. Tozer
When we enter into a loving, friendship with Our Saviour He does expect us to cop out of His advice, when we deem it convenient. In other words our relationship with The Father, for our well being should not be based upon any thought that we can make exceptions, per our self serving choices.
The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n. ~ John Milton
John Milton rightly reminds his readers that our free choice to ignore advice that appears a little extraordinary, therefore unappealing should not be used as our excuse to opt out of enacting constructive guidance pouring into our conscious awareness. To do so is to reject the very life saving wisdom providing us with a life worthy of being chosen by the divine mystery, to be His outreach into the lives of those brought into our orbit to serve The Father's plan for our life.
Jesus of Nazareth faced His moments of doubt in the Garden of Gethsemane when asking The Father:
“Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” ~ Luke 22:42.
Jesus recovered His composure after His moments of doubt had intervened.
This morning I was asked by our village baker, what can I do to improve the well being of the human race?
There is only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self. ~ Aldous Huxley
