OPENESS

Hard to always achieve this. You have to start by stop building walls in your mind. Some will never achieve that.

They won't even appreciate how they have erected such walls. They can be such an instinctive choice.

But if one can let God's spirit give wings and fly upon his current of sight, it is possible to rise above one's limitations. Maybe not to the degree we would see in our dreams, but one that will truly embrace a level that helps us to grow.

We do have to be prepared to embrace how God sees to elevate our sight and thinking. It can truly be a challenge to let the lord be our lead in that regard.

Still that is what is required. I have often been amazed at the people I've know who came to some cross roads of discovery and thought it was the final stop on their journey.

They would never be capable of rising above who they were and accepting that this junction wasn't all that life held as meaning. And then they take that small detour and think it is all the truth they will ever need.

It is sad and amazing when people see the profound and not the obvious. They can recite the deep meaningful things learned in life, but never the ones that are less complicated.

Such is the nature of who easy we are more able at times to thrive on the complex rather than the simple. The complex is hard to understand.

Mysteries appeal for they stimulate, but it doesn't mean it is good for all situations. And when we overlook the obvious, we often end up being worse off.

Health is one of the most common places we suffer in that regard. We can delve into any cerebral cranny, but not spend time exercise.

One can learn spiritual secrets from an angel, but still fail to appreciate that ignoring health can have lethal consequence. Not that anyone will live forever.

Merely that we are not truly as open as we claim if we only see part of life as important and don't give respect to the rest of life. We are in such situations just as narrow minded and with problems as those who don't see spiritual truths.

We may never find all the truths of life as God intends, but we can face the most important ones. Mainly how God doesn't expect us to think ourselves wise if we only are willing to listen to part of what he says.

Such is the sadness of life. And such is the nature of where we need to pray for his leading.
