True Detachment

“Detachment is that you are not caught in the web of the outcome of any situation. Why? Because you trust God to bring forth only what is best for you regardless of how it may appear, not only best for you but best for all those who are concerned with it. …Well, I have news for you. When you ask God to help you with a situation, you have to accept His answer. His answer may look very opposite of what you ask for. And there is where detachment comes in when you do not insist upon your will rather than His will. It will appear to you that God did not answer you. …But detachment is when you detach from the result and know that whatever the result is, it is for the highest good of everyone concerned. Now that is a very hard lesson. Most people make little baby-step attempts at it. But very few people truly live that.”
