"Naked we came into the world and naked we shall return".... One feels that indeed in a physical way we enter the world like this, but even more importantly do we go forward in such a way on our spiritual journey to our Good God. It is a path of stripping the old self/heart of stone, to create a new one and that can be a very very painful procedure... However, our Lord leaves nothing to chance and He indeed did give us courage from His suffering at the garden of Gethsemane... Our Lord went into it alone, afraid and asking if it be Gods Will, to take the suffering away... He left strong and equipped to do what was Gods most perfect Will...
It is very difficult to learn that degree of abandonment of self in any moment of suffering, indeed it can be a new bringing forth of life spiritually.It is a human response for one to want to select a suitable cross, selecting its dimensions to fit ones strength. However, the Lord knows us better than we know ourselves and encourages us ever forward into deeper depths with only Himself ultimately for support...There is no more tender moment, than when a soul goes against self and humbles themselves at the feet of our Good God and in total awareness of their weakness and nothingness, calls out for His help alone and cries out, your perfect will be done...
We never leave our little garden of suffering without being transformed, all the more stronger for it. This little soul believes we should try to cultivate our little suffering gardens, into beautiful gardens of Hope... where we go to enter into private, deeper levels of change for our Good God alone... To indeed be all that He desires us to become, channels of His love xxx
