Enjoying the "free" gift, the grace, the power freely given in our powerlessness, especially when we don't earn or deserve it, and are, most often, going our own way---the wrong way. Running our own way, even when God may be calling us; taking that slow boat to Tarshish after hearing God's voice...Going in the opposite direction.
No problem, there's lots of "Great Fish" in the sea that our Higher Power uses to swallow us up, spit us out, and then we hear that voice a second time and have a tendency to listen just a little bit better (being covered with "whale-vomit" gives a little motivation). Knocked off my motorcycle--shattered, humbled (humiliated?) broken...waking up from a long winter's nap...
That's why it has to be free...that's why it has to be our Higher Power's power because we have none....Actually we have "a lot" of power, but that power is our own power---the power to self-destruct, run away, the wrong way....What a blessing that regardless of our daily wanderings, we are always being lovingly, graciously called back, and, empowered to come back.
