Day 138a: Always UP to Me … (September 14, 2019)
“To hide from our Calling is allowing our ego’s insecurities to tell God that what we fear is somehow bigger than His greater will; that our own personal comfort is somehow more important than all our fellow brothers & sisters who are (at least to some degree) suffering nearby; essentially that our own sense of pleasure or experience of ease is more important than the ones we have been summoned to Love. Whenever this proves to be the case, whenever our ego rears its less than attractive head and tempts us to be someone far less noble than we truly are, we would all do quite well indeed to send that messenger back to the shadows from whence it came … There is a whole world out there, waiting for us; a world filled with opportunities to care and serve and tend and be kind wherever and whenever you want to stop and seek them – and find them – and grasp them. And whether you do or you don’t, well that is always totally up to you.” ~ inspired by Craig Lounsbrough & Jellis Vaes
