And
one reason is this, why that I bid thee hide from God the desire of thine
heart. For I hope it should more clearly come to His knowing, for thy profit
and in fulfilling of thy desire, by such an hiding, than it should by any other
manner of shewing that I trow thou couldest yet shew. And another reason is,
for I would by such a hid shewing bring thee out of the boisterousness of bodily
feeling into the purity and deepness of ghostly feeling; and so furthermore at
the last to help thee to knit the ghostly knot of burning love betwixt thee and
thy God, in ghostly onehead and according of will.

Now
I seek to know the Presence of Spirit above all else. I seek the heavenly mind
and its righteousness. Being oned with Spirit is my reality. Knowing that I am
oned with Spirit lifts me to new heights of clarity in understanding of what is
real and harmonizes me with all that is reality expressed. I come to this
seeking in peace, assurance, gratitude, and love.
So
now, I see my desire before me as Spirit’s gift to me, the yearning for richer
and greater livingness and joy. I release the desire as my focus and accept the
gift it brings me in this moment for why seek that which is already mine
already revealed? What I seek instead is that expanded and continuously
expanding awareness of the spiritual good of Spirit in mental, emotional, and
physical form that I may give credit to Spirit where due.
Hiding
my desire as release is a game I play to free myself from clinging claims to
allowing my inner growth in enlightenment. I know that the more light I see,
the richer my life becomes. In the hidden moments, my light grows bright indeed
and shows me perfect paths and perfect ways. Now, I release even this word as I
live what comes in gratitude knowing God knows my need and supply me with
lavish abundance for so it is.

“First you ask definitely for direction,
then it will enter your consciousness as a definite thought; then in your turn
you give it back the thought and it will give you back the thing. It answers
every question, solves every problem; it is the solution to every difficulty.” Ernest
