Putting First Things First
Sometimes I can hardly believe how, time and time again, I choose illusion over Truth.
Right now I’m referring to other people’s dramas of which there are plenty, how I pull myself into their stories, immerse myself in them, and put illusion and drama before Truth. I find myself not following my own priorities but instead involving myself more in the Dear Abby sort of thing.
I don’t want to disillusion you too much, but recently I was put to a test. I had choices to make, as do we all.
Of the following three choices, I present them to you in their rightful order:
Door A: Writing down the morning’s Heavenletter — This is my mission.
Door B: Writing down the morning’s blog entry — It’s a responsibility.
Door C: Writing to a dear Heavenreader who is in distress because her boyfriend dropped her and won’t even talk to her anymore — We know this young lady will get over her heartbreak, and, although how she feels matters a whole lot, it’s not for me to put individuals over the Universe.
Okay, which do I do first? We know it makes sense for me to write down God’s words first, but did I? No, I didn’t. I followed my personal inclinations instead.
First I wrote an entry for this blog.
Then I wrote to the young woman with a broken heart.
Then finally I wrote down the Heavenletter from God.
All three of the above are charming to me. I love to do all three, yet the greatest fulfillment comes from writing down Heavenletters. I can’t believe that I can put other things before Godwriting. It’s a wonder that God doesn’t fire me. But He’s an employer with such equanimity, He would never do that.
In a recent personal Godwriting™, I went on and on to God about my lack of vast vision, as testified to in the blog entries called One Bead at a Time. So, finally, I wound up saying to God:
Beloved God, although I am learning a lot, I realize that my vision is narrow. I do not have vast vision, is it okay?
God, in all His magnanimity replied:
Of course, it’s okay. I have vision enough for everyone. Leave it to Me.
