A note I wrote in my "God Calling" on this day in 1984: Simplicity and love...just love the lack and see God there...I cannot pray for prosperity without accepting the lack which is the whole picture.
That was during the time that I was being gifted with the care and feeding of the IRS. [Sidebar: I found the IRS easier to deal with than my friends who, almost to a person, knew what I should do (most of it being different ways to lie, cheat and steal, all of which I'd already considered) and/or who I most needed to shoot.]
I had just enough spiritual growth then to know that this entire thing was beyond my mental capacity to figure out, to get free of, to overcome. I knew from my toenails up that God was in this for me, and my only job was to find God in the midst of the mess, not how to get the IRS off me and onto somebody else.
God's gift to me then and now is my faith in the fact that my only need ever is to focus on the God of my own understanding however and wherever he leads me.
His perfect gift is the one of free will which allows my ego Lucy to be ever thinking of new razzle-dazzle personal ways to get over on God. It's his perfect gift for it is Lucy's fine thinking that brings me back to God quick, fast and in a hurry.
It is only through still more spiritual growth that we learn free will is love made manifest...love made manifest by our turn away from it.
Thank you.
