Day 307

Today's Lesson:

Conflicting wishes cannot be my will.

Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible. your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.

And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God's, in recognition that they are the same.

Miracles I'm noticing:

People around me continue to delight me with their own discoveries. I went out to dinner last night with some very dear friends, and it was such a pleasure to be in the company of people who just cannot exist in the world of small talk anymore. We talked about some really substantial topics - including religion and politics - which are topics that each can feel safe to add his/her opinions and kick around ideas without any fear of judgment. I know I used to be someone who would be so deathly afraid to share an opinion because I wanted to make sure no one would be upset with me. Now that I'm beginning to realize there is no way conflict can come to a mind that is one with God's, I notice that I find myself in far fewer circumstances that could end up in conflict.

I'm grateful for my growing awareness, and am finding this playing out in my 2008 business plans. As I realize that I'm never in anything alone when I remember that God's Will is mine and that there are no other options, I am truly blessed. I am - and always have been - as God created me. And that is good enough and worthy enough. That's a miracle!
