God, Love, did not ask Jesus, and does not ask us, to give blanket trust to any person or human institution, though Love does give us the wisdom and discernment to recognize when trust is warranted—or not.
Whatever seems dormant, or even nonexistent, in our lives now—happiness, opportunity, or health—can come to full bloom through the power of God’s love.
In order to be free of the exhaustion of inharmony, it is natural—spiritually innate—for us to seek something else, to reverse direction, to move toward safer, more peaceful ground.
In seeing that we can have only the identity God made, we recognize that the resistance to spiritual growth calling itself distractedness is nothing more than an imposition on us.
Turning our thought to God, we gain an understanding of the power of divine, all-pervasive Love. And we begin to think and act from a foundation of compassion and pure affection toward ourselves and others.
By loving those we feel least inclined to—whether personal acquaintances or people in the headlines—we stand for the reality the world so needs to understand and prove: we are all sisters and brothers in the all-harmonious, spiritual family of our heavenly Father-Mother.
I’d believed I was a victim of another’s self-indulgence, but I realized that I had selfishly indulged in a false sense that God’s children could be a disturbance and that I was justified in taking matters into my own hands. I saw that, instead, I had to do my part to see everyone (including myself) as God has created us.
