I dreamed last night that I was on my own...that I could and would never again experience any of God's little giftees...no unexpected pearl beyond price for me ever again.
I awoke with a feeling of dread, and I remembered the dream. I realized I was figuring without the giftees that I would not know God in my life. I asked me, "What if that were true? Without the little 'proofs of purchase,' would I still have a profound belief in the personal goodness of God in my life?"
Quick as a blinding flash, God gave me a giftee: Of course, I would still have my belief. I have all the instructions in black and white laid out for me personally from who knows how long ago up up to as I type. I have the Sermon, which if I live to be 200 I'll never do exactly as written, I have a big book that speaks to me personally. It makes any spiritual literature I've ever read (especially the Sermon) understandable to me...doable by me.
As long as I have all that's gone before me, I can rest in the knowledge that I have all I can ever need to keep me seeking still more spiritual growth which desire is God's ultimate giftee, Nothing original can be added...the very use recycles it as new, different, better. It's a whole new world daily...or as often as I choose to use it so why not daily?
We have the knowledge and the place to go to when we forget. It's all reusable...in fact, the more we use it, the deeper it lifts us higher.
Thank you.
