On Sunday, Rev. Richard mentioned how important the book, Lessons in Truth, is to him. I'd like to share my favorite passage from the book as well.
"What is desire? Desire in the heart is always God tapping at
the door of your consciousness with His infinite supply - a supply that is forever useless unless there be demand for it. With God the desire to give, and giving, are one and the same thing. Someone has said, 'Desire for anything is the thing itself in incipiency; that is, the thing you desire is not only for you, but has already been started toward you out of the heart of God; and it is the first approach of the thing itself striking you that makes you desire it, or even think of it at all.'" -H. Emilie Cady
I read this decades before I came to Unity. How it has fed my soul. When we are aligned with our Divine Self, we are awakened to desires that bring us great joy. Not egoserving desires but ones that are expansive and embrace our world with love, beauty, and care.
When I have allowed myself to follow the desires of my heart or consciousness, I have discovered love in greater measure. I have known joy. There are often obstacles, but when I keep my focus on the voice of love, the path opens or takes me to an even more wonderful path.
What is tapping at the door of your consciousness? How can you take one small step toward that intuitive lead? The possibilities are always limitless. We are beings of love with the power to create great beauty and connection. Will you consider opening to your greater good by listening to the deep desires within you? Let us be bold in our living!
Oodles of love,
Rev. Patty
