OUR FAITH AND GOD'S POWER

I read and I quote from "God Calling" a lot...I quote from it more the older I get and realize through my own experience that this little book which borders on elementary is my pearl beyond price. I do believe that it was more than my personal choice that this book came to me. It spoke to my heart and my head over forty years ago...and I've read it daily since.

I read things today that are the basis of my spiritual life, and it's as if I'd never read them...real "ah-ha" moments. I credit Meister Eckhart with telling me "thank you" is the only prayer we'll ever need, but it is "God Calling" that first told me that. But, who's kidding whom, Eckhart was a 14th century monk that even popes quote...he has a tish more gravitas than my little red book. (I give over to Lucy when it's a fun handoff.)

Just as an example of how rich the book is, here are a couple of my journal entries for the past two days:

• As "God Calling" says so perfectly, Your faith and My power -- the only two  essentials. Nothing else is needed.  I note that is "your faith," not "your will." 
• Per today's "God Calling," When human support or material help of any kind is removed, then My power can become operative. I am beyond grateful that I believe this based on my own experience...that which I have resisted caused me to crash and burn. Then, out of my fearful ashes, there was God, come to carry me to the other side, home free.

It takes the entire Bible to tell us that our faith and God's power are all that is needed in our very own life...that the worst that can happen to us is God's invitation to shine in our life.

God loves me...us...so much. Always and all ways.

Thank you.
