I'll know I'm half way to Heaven when I am seeking first the kingdom of Heaven, and the words, "and all these things shall be added unto you" do not come to my mind. No longer exist in my consciousness...not to mention, I no longer resent that they were said in the first place.
The words "And all these things shall be added unto you" are my divine booby trap...probably because they don't enter my mind until I'm feeling a want that I call a need. Then "seek ye first the kingdom of Heaven" springs to mind and very faint, almost hidden but hanging on for its life, comes "and you'll get your want."
We must prove truth if it is to be true in our lives. "True" meaning alive, vibrant. Working, in a word.
I can say, "He goes before me to make the crooked placed straight," till my face falls off, those are just so many words until I prove them.
That's always been my trouble with affirmations. If it is true that I am healthy, wealthy and wise, loved and lovable, cute as a button, etc., I won't need to keep repeating the words...I'll be showing it, and you'll be telling me!
The great comfort to me is that I do know unto breathing that spiritual principles can and will solve all my problems. Proving that comes in living a turned-over-to-God life...i.e., making my mistakes, then my apologies and/or amends, or doing it right the first time and feeling the grace of that from my toenails up!
There it is. Feeling the grace is all these things added unto me. For grace is of God, and the grace of God is All.
Thank you.
