The abundant grace of divine supply appears as we depend on it, as we move toward our dreams with confidence in the infinite resourcefulness of Spirit.

Affirm and know: I am sufficient unto myself. God is my life, my source, my supply, my teacher, and my guide. In this moment, all of my needs are met. I rejoice as I live consciously with God as my constant companion.

In every situation in life we have the opportunity to walk by faith, to call upon the divine potential for good that exists even when we cannot see it, and to know that our limited thoughts of “not enough” can be healed by the abundant reality of God’s grace.

When we rest in the silent awareness of our own spiritual nature, the door of infinite blessing opens to us and we are invited to enter the kingdom of divine possibility, to realize that our life is God’s life, and to see with the eye of spiritual wisdom that we are one with the Source of all that is.

Spiritual practice takes place in the moment-to-moment choices we make. Meditating, studying scripture, charitable giving, or other actions we might consider as “our practice” are preparation for the actual spiritual practice of fully conscious living. Sometimes people think, “I don’t have enough time for spiritual practice.” But this moment is the time we practice. We practice by the choices we make.

Spiritual practice is choosing peace, clarity, and compassion in thought, speech, and action. We have only to observe our thoughts and choices to determine whether we are aligning ourselves with peace, chasing after desires, or succumbing to depression or inertia. Practice is making any corrections needed. In this way, our spiritual practice moves from the theoretical to the actual building of character.

Just as one thorn may be used to remove another embedded in one’s foot, so can we use desire itself to remove the negative force of desiring. Most desires lead us further from the truth that we are already complete as we erroneously seek the freedom and happiness that is inherent to our soul nature. Ultimately all desire must be transcended but initially the desire for God or peace can bring us closer to truth. After the thorn is used to remove the one embedded, both are tossed aside.
