my daily reflections…

Perseverance in this thing we do has revealed that true tolerance is not the mere endurance of anothers flaws but the quiet transformation of my own heart. through prayer and practice, i have learned that tolerance matures into love only when i am willin to release the hidden judgments that anchor resentment. the discipline of prayin for those i resent, daily, deliberately, and often unwillingly, has softened the hard edges of my spirit. in that slow surrender, i discovered that forgiveness is not a transaction but a manifestation of grace; a reflection of my HP workin through me, reshapin what once was bitterness into compassion. in the days of doin my dirt, i mistook tolerance for weakness, believin that to forgive was to diminish myself. yet in this thing we do, i have come to understand that Perseverance in love requires far greater strength than hostility ever did. each act of spiritual surrender becomes an assertion of faith that healin begins within. as i learn to extend mercy to others, i find myself becomin more capable of receivin it. the true measure of tolerance, then, is not how much i can endure, but how deeply i can allow love, my HPs love, to inhabit the spaces once governed by fear and pride. 1 day @ a time…
