LETTING GO

LETTING GO

"You must let go of your restlessness, your excessive curiosity, your
longing for success and your habit of collecting things that stroke your
ego. The best way to let go of these things is to cultivate an inner
silence where you may come to experience your Lord's presence. If you do
this every day of your life, you will make real progress in denying
yourself.

Sitting in your Lord's presence will calm you, soften your temper,
humble your know-it-all attitude, and restrain your impatience. You will
be made aware of your Lord, and the needs of your neighbor. God has
bless you in making you so sensitive. Things that would hardly bother
other people touch you to the core. You are troubled or pleased by
nothing halfway! But I warn you to guard yourself against your likes and
dislikes since they are so passionately expressed." -- from FENELON --
THE SEEKING HEART

"What I am trying to do here is to get you to relax, to not be so
preoccupied with GETTING, so you can respond to God's giving. People who
don't know God and the way he works fuss over these things, but you know
both God and how we works. Steep your life in God-reality,
God-initiative, God-provisions. Don't worry about missing out. You'll
find all your everyday human concerns will be met.

Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don't get
worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you
deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes." The words
of JESUS from the SERMON ON THE MOUNT -- Matthew 6 (from The Message)
