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

3) There are also three in every ten whose aim is to live, but whose
movements tend to the land (or place) of death. And for what reason?
Because of their excessive endeavours to perpetuate life.
