ARRIVING & NOT STRIVING - It is heaven's way to conquer without striving. It does not ask, yet it is supplied with all that it needs; it does not hurry, yet it completes everything on time. Even your fingernails show up when they are supposed to!Do you think that you can take over the universe and improve it? (I think of Bruce Almighty and laugh!) Everything under heaven is a sacred vessel and cannot be controlled. Trying to control leads to ruin. Trying to grasp, we lose. Allow your life to unfold naturally. Allow other people's lives to unfold naturally as well.You are a Divine being. You know what to do. You will work it out. There is a time for everything;and everything in its time.There's a time for being ahead,And a time for being at peace.There is a time for being in motion,And a time for being at rest.There is a time for being vigorous,And a time for being exhausted.To everything, there is a season,A time for every purpose under the sun.Hidden in all misfortune is good fortune. All things work together for good.No storm can last forever.Hidden within every storm in your life is the peace that you desire.Don't give up.Whatever it is that you want to accomplish in your life, take one step at a time, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time, one second at a time. The NOW is all you have. Small steps. You know the saying...The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. No one runs a marathon on the thoughts of finishing 26 miles in a chunk. In the end, it's...."Can I put one foot in front of the other?" And before you know it, you've accomplished great things.Sojourning with you, my beautiful friends! Love to you all, you mighty divine beings!
