EVER SO GENTLY

WE

are being lead

out of a world

where there is no GOD

and into a world

where there is only GOD

Being adept at projecting and expecting certain outcomes in the moment, we oftentimes run smack dab into REALITY--what the moment actually allows.  When the moment refuses our advances, we bristle under the results.  What we fail to realize is that the moment actually has our best interests in mind, and is ever so gently leading us forward for our own good.

Our TRUE SELF, the one created by GOD, has a job description--to lead who we think we are back to who we REALLY ARE.  This is a full-time job.  But, in the light of what we have made of/for ourselves, it must be undertaken ever so gently.

We are so fully invested in our dream life, that the AWAKENING process must be conducted very carefully.  When we observe someone who is having a disturbing nightmare, that last thing they need is to be violently shaken and shouted at to wake up.  That only increases the degree of their nightmare.  There is nothing about GOD that desires to increase our nightmare, or to present HIMSELF as being in-our-face.  Everything is always conducted ever so gently.

If we review the many steps our lives have taken, however divergent that might appear, and compare that with what we thought should/could/or might have happened, we will probably see a pattern that has lead us forward ever so gently.  This even includes events that some would consider tragic.

Tragic events, however difficult, open up unforeseen opportunities that would have otherwise not been available.  They are always viewed as tragic in comparison with worldly-expectations of accomplishments and success.  But, many have come to the conclusion that the world’s viewpoint on these things is heavily skewed to the delusional.

We would do well to view the gentle leading and prodding that is oftentimes hardly noticeable as a sign that we are and have always been in good hands.  Our TRUE SELF, who is always in possession of the big picture, views all the steps that lie before us, and directs our forward motion ever so gently.
