The Universe is here to support
us. One friend of mine used to say we live in a “user-friendly” Universe. We
have the ability to speak our word, to exercise our belief through faith that
God knows how to produce the result, and to allow ourselves to be guided to our
next step in the process.
There’s one little problem in
that scenario: Our ability to accept our
good. Have you ever prayed fervently, perhaps for a long period of time, only
to have the answer to your prayers show up in a way you didn’t expect? I mean
in a way that made you stop and think, “WAIT a minute!”
It’s happened to me. I usually have
an idea of how I expect my prayers to manifest in my life. There have been times,
however, that the manifestation is so far from what I was expecting that I was
unwilling to accept my own happiness. Do you know what I mean?
I’m not even sure as I write this
that I am explaining myself sufficiently. What I do know is whenever I have
decided Spirit/God sent the wrong package, the incorrect size or the delivery
method was unusual, I have later regretted my decision to refuse delivery. Who
are we to refuse our good – the path to our happiness?
My dear friend and teacher, the
late Rev. Helen Street, used to tell people, “We’re dealing with Infinite
Intelligence – NOT Big Dummy in the Sky!” Our egos want to have control over
every little detail, when in truth our egos usually don’t have a clue how our
desires can work out for our highest good.
Take a look at the good around
you that you may have been ignoring because the packaging wasn’t what you were
expecting. Open yourself up to receive your good. You might just find yourself surprised
beyond belief!
In Spirit, Truth and Playfulness,
Terry
