God Calling - Harmony Within
Permalink  
 


"Follow My guidance.  Be afraid to venture on your own as a child fears to leave its mother's side.  Doubt of your own wisdom, and reliance on Mine will teach you humility.

Humility is not the belitting of the self.  It is forgetting the self.  Nay more, forgetting the self, because you are remembering Me.

You must not expect to live in a world where all is harmony, where others are in unbroken accord with you.  It is your task to maintain your own heart-peace in adverse circumstances.  Harmony is always yours when you strain your ear to catch heaven's music.

Doubt always your power or wisdom to put things right; ask Me to right all as you leave it to Me.  Only My wisdom can rightly settle any problem.  

So rely on Me.  All is well."

Thank you.

Step three prayer.

We were now at Step Three. Many of us said to our Maker, AS WE UNDERSTOOD HIM: "God, I offer myself to Thee--to build with me and to do with me as Thou wilt. Relieve me of the bondage of self, that I may better do Thy will. Take away my difficulties, that victory over them may bear witness to those I would help of Thy Power, Thy Love, and Thy Way of life. May I do Thy will always!" We thought well before taking this step making sure we were ready; that we could at last abandon ourselves utterly to Him.

We found it very desirable to take this spiritual step with an understanding person, such as our wife, best friend, or spiritual adviser. But it is better to meet God alone than with one who might misunderstand. The wording was, of course, quite optional so long as we expressed the idea, voicing it without reservation. This was only a beginning, though if honestly and humbly made, an effect, sometimes a very great one, was felt at once.

Meditation and prayer is a part of my life today. How wonderful is that :}

Just what I needed. A good swift kick from a loving entity.
