H,
There is no escaping the hard bits of life. Some might argue that all of
it is hard. That we are fighting gravity and learned nature and all the present
darkness of the world. We must not sell a fantasy of ease when it will take all
our belief to live in the light. We must be honest. It is not for the fainthearted.
But, of course, it is for that fragile heart. In relation to the high
hopes and deep dreams of living right, all of us and all our hearts will fail. We
are talking of applying eternal principles to temporal life. It is telling the
human soul and body, attuned to survival and selfishness, to forget dread and
fear and self interest to focus on things like kindness, bravery and people
less fortunate than you are. The focus on others is the hardest discipline of
the human heart.
It is a hardship we must embrace. There is no other way to slip into the
divine. There is no higher calling. And it is impossible to do. It is not
something we work out ourselves. We are given the opportunity through grace,
faith and love to commune with eternity and let these things become our
character. It is the light within before the light comes out.
We are learning to bring light to this hard plane. We will learn this,
inch by inch, throughout our whole lives.
Amen.
