I have very few problems on the road now...when they happen sometimes...It's just a person that didn't see me, so what.
My life is much calmer now that I actually practice consciously being in touch with and being led by Spirit.
Ah, the freedom...giving burdens away.

(I was Bap in the Holy Spirit in 2009....what a huge change or renewal of my mind!!!
Wowsa...like day and night ...you could ask my friends of decades....I was a beeotch.)
I am faced with that very renewal as I flow with my sister whom I am now the caretaker of in my
space I made only for ME in solitude in my retirement.
No one can trigger you like family....forget about traffic!!!!
And in 9 months I got mad 5 times....but if I told you ....it took a LOT before I got mad....in
2 min I was fine....no ruminating for weeks on end.

Ah, thank you Holy Spirit for transforming my mind and for the help of undoing the ego.
Perhaps so, thou, her/his post is true for the path to self-actualization...don't sweat the small stuff! what is the small stuff?

Self-actualization is not a word introduced often in the Christianity area...thank you for that.

and all that SPIRITUALNESS originates only in you/ ourselves, ACCORDING TO YOU RIGHT ?
meaning there is not life AND SPIRTUAITY outside of you AND THAT WE MUST ALIGN OURSELVES WITH IN ORDER TO BE LOVING?
AND THUS YOU KNOW LOVING BY HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL?
ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU ARE SAYING?
SO YOU SAY THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT LOVE.. LIKE JESUS LOVED?

I actually do pretty well depending on which vehicle I'm on or in.......lol.......on the cycle I'm carefree and walking in the spirit......in a cage a little less

You are cool for sure, and I should not make light of this stuff but we need to be real......it is so cool to be able to rest in the completed work of Christ and know long term things are going to turn out great.....and probably no cars in heaven!

no, that's not what I am saying, it is a construct of your mind in its essential nature of opposing anything that you don't like.

The "small stuff" is what people do ignorant of the impact it might have on you. Less "small" is the stuff they do for their own reasons, realizing that it will impact you negatively.

well mankind isn't the author of Love and isn't it sourse either. sir..
Find the source of love and then corrrect your and others ideas of what real Love should feel like.
start with washing of our minds with his Word and by HIm and in the spirit of The Word . His logo's.


It is a hard love..

Mat 7:14

But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

and you think they can find it in themselves!
I say they can only find it in HIM and in His wWord.

You will find it within, if you open-up your heart to it.

you will find it in HIM .. when you/we all open your heart to Him His wWord and His Spirit's washing and refining .

like here
Rev 3:14

¶
“And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans[fn] write, ‘These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God:

Rev 3:15

“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot.

Rev 3:16

“So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot,[fn] I will vomit you out of My mouth.

Rev 3:17

“Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked—

Rev 3:18

I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.

Rev 3:19

“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.
Rev 3:20

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.

Rev 3:21

“To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.

Rev 3:22

¶
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” ’ ”


you/ I/ we/ are not the sourse of Love and or righteousness.. we must get our right/ness from Him and HIM only !
