DON'T TELL ME...SHOW ME

As has been written, peace is not simply an absence of war. Peace must first be sought within, then peace will appear without...just a reminder again that whatever is within, shows up without.

I can grasp that peace, love, joy, kindness...all are within. All we will ever need are within waiting to be used. I have a harder time holding onto that as true of health and supply.

I believe it to be true...too many well-regarded spiritually based people, have taught and do teach that today from their own experience for it to be fantasy.

The kicker is that I prove that daily...I have enough. I do not go hungry, have never gone hungry; I am well, have never been point-of-departure ill.

What makes the promise that all my needs have already been met so difficult for me to grasp and hold is my mind's very next question: But, what if...? That's the siren song of the material world...the fork in the road toward spiritual peace or reasoning-mind agitation. What if? The instant those two words come to mind, I immediately remind myself that "if" is a "not Now" word of which God knows naught...it's future garbage, let it be.

The real learning comes with the realization that until we're breathing it, walking it, showing it forth, it is just so many words. The way it gets passed on to others is by proving it through living it, not just talking it. Which reminds me of the time I was explaining how turning our will over to the care of God works, and the person I was talking at, said, "Don't tell me, honey, show me." Ah, yes, there's the nut.

Thank You.
