Self-empty...let go...take nothing personally...accept. All of those acts have the same prerequisite, to wit, that we detach...or, easier to get the picture, that we crash and burn with our imperative wants.
It is our surrender that makes our decision to let go, to detach, and opens the way for the sacred power within us to flow forth and perform that which is given us to do.
We waste our breath and God's time praying for him to go before us to make the crooked places straight. It is that very prayer for that denies that it is already ours, that proves we have not let go, not emptied our self of our own want.
Supply is the realization of God.... (Joel Goldsmith, "Letters," at p. 633) Supply is not just money, food, shelter...no. It is that sacred power within us. That is the supplier, or fulfiller, of our need when we surrender, give over, give up, give in...let go.
The core of our search for still more spiritual growth in the end is simply trust. First, we come to believe that there is a sacred power within, known to me as God, and then we come to trust that power.
The great gettin' up morning is when we realize that power is not just ours...it is us. It is you. It is me. And we can trust that.
Thank you.
