There are so many elements of life that are not the way I would think they would be.  It does not make sense that we learn what our wherewithal is until we are pushed past what we think is our capacity.  It shows up every facet of living. There is often a disconnect between what we think and reality.  It is therefore helpful to have facts and figures so we can validate or invalidate what we have decided is true in our minds and what is actually true.  We acquiesce to the reality of wherewithal when it comes to elements outside ourselves and we refer to them as objective. It seems as though there is a reality inside our minds, shaped by our individual and sometimes shared perspective. Then there is a reality in the outside world.  When we make up our minds about our own wherewithal we do not know the truth of it until we somehow live the experience.  God encourages us to keep this in mind when it comes to our capacity for love. We do not know the means that exist within our hearts until we attempt to stretch ourselves past what we think.  It is the same principle I experience in yoga class when the whole time I am holding a pose my mind is telling me I do not have the strength to do it. The wherewithal that is designed in our hearts is learned in moments of courage.  The moments when we take a chance to resist what our heads tell us is the wherewithal of our hearts.  It is about moving through moments of fear or pausing and breathing when I think I do not have the wherewithal to be kind one more time. It is the stepping outside the beliefs in my mind about the resources of my heart that the actual wherewithal of my heart gets to share with my mind the reality of what it and I are made.
