Rev. Chris Michaels and I have written another Journal: Celebrating the Prousperous Life Journal. It is due to arrive in Stepping Stones Bookstore in early October. Yippeee.
Here is an etract:
When we learn to trust the universe, we shall be happy, prosperous and well.
Dr. Ernest Holmes
The spiritual journey is all about learning to trust. Through our own lives, we experience the disappointments of being human. Loved ones die. Jobs end. People get divorced. Every outlet for good eventually runs dry. And when it does, we mourn the loss and wonder, “Where will our good come from now?”
In time, we learn that love doesn’t come from other people; it comes through them. After numerous job changes, we eventually learn that an employer is not the source of our prosperity.
Through our individual human experiences, we find the Divine. We learn that even though life circumstances may change, the only lasting truth is that God is always there. The Universe never fails us!
God did not abandon its creation. It is an infinite, eternal supplier of all that is good; when one outlet for good closes, you may rest assured that another one will quickly open.
Learning to trust the Universe is our greatest challenge as spiritual beings. Letting go of the ego-need to strategize and manipulate our good is an everyday task. But the one who succeeds is the one who finds the most peace. The one who can trust the Universe can say, “I don’t know how my good will come, or from what channel it may flow, but I know it must come.”
