"This life is not ours. This life is God's. We belong to God, and God is responsible for our life and for our fulfillment. Whatever of good takes place in our life is God in action; whatever of evil takes place is only in proportion as the word ‘I’ is injected - I, John; I, Mary; I, Henry. Let there be no praise for us, no condemnation, and no weight of responsibility. When responsibility comes, let us be sure that we do not permit this human sense of ‘I’ to come forth and say: ‘How can I accomplish this? How am I going to perform that? My strength is not sufficient; my bank account is not adequate.’ Jesus did not permit the word ‘I’ to intrude when he was called upon to feed the five thousand. He acknowledged that he could do nothing of himself.”
~ Joel Goldsmith ~
The above message is so inspiring and perfect because it puts everything into the right perspective. It reminds me once again of the endless ways I try to do things that include striving and effort. There is such a thin line between 'effort' and 'effortless' that one can very easily loose sight if one is not watchful of the small 'i' coming into operation. Be vigilent. Be conscious. Be aware. And let God be in charge. You can't win with Reality anyway!
How may I be of service?
With Love & Oneness
