The Quest – Day 4
May 28, 2020
Some problems are slow-burners. We live with them for a long time and get used to mucking about in them.
Other problems strike hard and fast, coming down on us like a hailstorm.
It can be difficult, when the storm hits, to remember that the journey is a benevolent and holy one, a process that is working with us to help us learn something new.
Inventory Focus: Are you going through a situation right now that feels torturous, like it’s happening for no reason other than to irritate or punish you? Can you believe, just a little, that what you’re going through right now is a valuable part of your life and that an overall benevolent process is taking place?
Can you at least believe that this situation has the possibility of shaping you in valuable ways and bringing gifts to your life?
