Worry not about future longings. Rest in faith. Know that the orange follows the blossom. The flower follows the bud as the seedling the seed. Do you neglect to place seeds in the garden and then go on faith that the harvest will be oppulent?
Do today, that which is good, loving, true and necessary. Then, tomorrow will follow as easily as the dawn. Often you want the stream before your canoe is prepared and launched. Would you put a pile of timbers in the water expecting it to carry you to your destination with swift ease and joy?
No, only a foolish person hurries the morrow. Serve well your apprenticeship in the carpenter's shop. Learn how to design, form and build the things and blessings of your life. Use well the master's tools - mind, thought, imagination, words and prayer. Keep the temple shop clean, orderly, groomed, useful and efficient. Look at your shop, your life, your office, home, car, body. Does it, do they, facilitate your purpose and desires? Do you neglect to put air in the tires of your car and then go on faity that the way and the ride will be smooth?
You have the wisdom and the knowingness within...
"Ask and you shall recieve. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be opened unto you."
