A dear soul enlightened me yesterday.
Powerlessness. How can something that is powerless feel tired? Do anything? God does it all.
This revolutionizes my view point. It's amazing. I am powerless, I testify to that daily, so what do I in fact do? How does service, tests, growth fit into this concept?
That is really mind blowing. Even though I testify to that daily, and have thought about it, I never thought about it like that. We make choices and take actions, but it is through God's grace that we are allowed to do that. Even with taking action, the results or consequences to that action are not in our hands. We just have to hope that the result from that action is pleasing to God, that that action was the correct one. In reality, God doesn't need us. Nothing we do can hurt or change Him. And as you quoted earlier "even or odd you will in the wager". It's kind of liberating if thought of in the right way. We can feel powerless and get frustrated, or we can recognize our powerlessness and be detached from outcomes and thankful for God's power. It also makes me think of how powerful God truly is and how we can tap into that power if we are a pure channel... like Mullah Husayn or Martha Root did.
