So I'm reading a note to myself from sometime back, and I had written that I know God will help me in all aspects of my life if I only ask.
And I'm struck again with the secret...it is not in asking but in doing whatever it is I am asking for.
It is not in asking God for our perceived need to be fixed, it is in remembering that God within is everything we can ever need so we lack for nothing...to get love, give love; to get patience, be patient; to get understanding, be understanding.
It is a well-known quote that when we're feeling fear of financial insecurity, we need to give some money away. That may be quoted a lot, just not necessarily done all that much, hence it's been "improved" to "give something away."
What we give determines the freedom from fear we will get. If we give something away, and it's a worn-out T-shirt we haven't worn in years, we'll not get a lot of freedom from fear...we'll get a boatload of guilt more like for "God will not be mocked," and neither will our very own conscience.
And there's our dilemma...we're still digging. without and within, for the answer to how to be right and know it. What to do? How to do it? Where? When? We just cannot believe that Joy is the sovereign balm for all of the ills of the world, the spirit cure for every ailment. There is nothing that Joy and Love cannot do.
Believe it.
Thank you.
