God’s Gentle Strength

by Rev. Maria Kingsley, O.M.C.

My reliance has been on the strength of my body. Yet I do not see its limitations unless I allow myself to be honest. I imagine I have free will and I exercise that in my choices of how to defend myself — never thinking that that is no real choice.

I check within and feel a rigidness that I seem to want, and I determine that it gives me the ability to adapt. Yet, it only holds me in place and I refuse to budge or flex/forgive as God would have me do.

My ego tells me I am small and I need to bow to others in order to be safe, sometimes, and other times he’ll tell me to be defiant and strong and stand up for what I think is right. But, I know neither of these choices are good ones for me because they demand that I defend myself. The ego either beats me down or builds me up falsely. God only holds up my Holiness and says: “There is another choice.”

I am not this ego. I am not a body. I am not small. I am as God created me … and now I choose that.

Will I be safe? Will I be happy? Will I receive all that I need? Will I be strong? Will I be loved? Will I deserve all that? God guarantees all that … and more.

His gentle Strength says, “Yes, my Child, I give you all that and hold you safe eternally.” And so I allow it!  I   a l l o w…  I claim His shining Peace; I accept that He loves me always.    … And so I rest in that.
