While serving as a prayer practitioner on the phone, allowing myself to be a clear channel, and giving completely of my SELF, I received the biggest gift possible. In those moments, it clicked. Regardless of any appearance, there is only Love, that there is only God.
There is a line from A Course in Miracles, that states, "The cost of giving is receiving. Either it is a penalty from which you suffer, or the happy purchase of a treasure to hold dear".
If what I give is what I receive, I have to ask myself what am I giving? When I drive pass a group a men hanging out on the corner, do I give thoughts of judgement or thoughts of love? When I look at myself in the mirror, do I give thoughts of criticism or thoughts of love? When I look at the balance in my checkbook, do I give thoughts of lack and limitation or thoughts of love?
That last one was a challenge, especially since my account was in the single digits (I am being real here). I had to remember that I said REGARDLESS OF THE APPEARANCE, I know the Truth. Truth is God is Abundance. Truth is I am a Divine creation of God. Truth is I am a Divine creation of Abundance. That is it.
So, if that's the case, why wasn't my bank account saying ABUNDANCE. I could think of many reasons and yet none of them mattered. Why? Because I know that what I focus on grows. If I focused on all the reasons why the account wasn't abundant, I would just get more reasons and a less than abundant bank account.
(And for all the Bible readers out there, this is just a modern day version of Peter walking on water. He couldn't walk to Jesus when he focused on the waves.) Since what I focus on grows, I decided to focus on Truth.
With all of that said and done:
Today, I choose to live in trust. I focus on Love, God. I focus on the Truth.
beautiful. I have to call there some time. Great idea
