Many times my good intentions appears to be everything but! Still God always understands!
I have misunderstood many people’s style of communicating and acting with good intention too and God knows that!
What do I do? Oh Ancient Wisdom, what should I do?
I may not have the chance to explain or justify my objective for my approach and for this very reason I do my best keeping in my mind that God knows my intentions. Nothing escapes his knowingness; God is watching… always watching.
That is what keeps me on my toes as well as gives me that peace which surpasses understanding even when the pigment of imagination eludes all saneness.
I think that it just proves that I translate perception very personally and so does the receiver of my ideas and that include God. I think that is the best quality I admire in God; he knows that my wrangling with him is in no way to take its place. It is just that I want a greater sense of knowing it, personally and for this reason I will do whatever I feel is necessary to express my hunger for this faith to know it and be fully pleased with God, intimately, ‘come hell or high waters!’
I suppose that is what King Solomon reminds me of in Proverbs when he mentioned “in all your ways trust God and never lean on your own understanding.”
Were it not so I would be lock in a prison of anxiety, fear and would be constantly overwhelmed by the millions of trillions of thoughts and feelings that I would be having difficulty to express especially watching my tongue and tone with how I communicate with God and still be lost in love with this God!
That acknowledgment has made it more practical for me to do my best in accepting when someone assures me of their good intentions. Since this is not an easy thing for me to always be mindful of round the clock I ask Wisdom to pump discernment into every cell of my body so I can trust my intuition and do things with good intention and to respect and remain open to people’s take on things and, along the way, boost my aptitude to think critically.
Thinking critically by the way is not the same as finding fault… to me it is agreeing to see another’s point of view and hoping the other person can also see my point of view on the same matter and be free to agree or disagree and still be amicable towards each other after the dialogue or discussion is over and if for any reason this relation cannot continue, we choose to walk away peacefully.
Keeping that in mind I continue to recite my mantra “God Knows as I carry on to intend to do good with the certainty that God knows the intentions of my thoughts, words and actions.
Thank you Holy Guidance for leading the path on which I must traverse to enjoy the taste of Paradise during my earthly journey before I return to dust!
Thank you God, for keeping me real!
