There it is...there, the point of the great turn-around where "ask what you will and it shall be" does not read, "ask for unlimited money, personal glory and sexy love, and you will have them." No. We are imbued with the realization that God's will is our will, that our head-want and our heart-need have merged and now are as one.
Whatever our secret obsessive self-want has been, it has never been first for God's will...no matter how spiritual we made it seem. Our head slow walked that to our heart, and slowly/suddenly truth has bloomed there.
No more do we ask, wanting...now we give thanks, gratefully. God has and has ever had our own ready for us...as with Francis—and his spiritual sister, Clare. Count on this...meaning, fear it not...ours will come to us looking like our worst fear come true...if we're doing it right. How else can our fear be lifted, transmuted, made gold? Thank you.
It dawned on [Francis] that his destiny might involve living by a different set of values than his parents and peers.
Thank you.
