Gently Down the Stream

Mary:
When I woke up this morning, my muscles were sore from all the activity during the past few days around getting the Miracles News magazine mailing out. It is time for me to remember that I rest in God and, in truth, that everyone rests in God always.

I let that thought, “I rest in God,” soak in my mind. I let myself relax into it. I breathe into it. I rest in God. Today I would follow as the Holy Spirit directs, knowing that in truth I rest in God all day. The gentleness of God’s Love floats through my mind. The stillness of God’s peace is always there no matter what stories seem to be going on. Today let me remember that I rest in God above all else.

Robert:
I have an image in my mind of floating in a canoe gently down a quiet stream. Without any effort on my part the stream carries me past beautiful fields of flowers, lush, green forests and quiet meadows. I relax more and more as I am carried quietly forward, smoothly and gently.

The stream continues on, carrying me along. It brings me to a city. I can hear the sound of traffic, of children playing, buildings being constructed and the sound of many voices in conversation. Still I rest at ease, being carried by the stream. The change in outer appearances does not change the fact that I am carried.

I need not concern myself with where the stream will carry me. I need only allow myself to be carried. In my heart I know the stream is carrying me Home. I know and trust the stream will carry me to where I need to be and to do what I need to do. Knowing that I am Homeward bound, I rest in confidence that I am carried in every moment. I need not try to paddle the canoe to go faster or jump out of the canoe and try to go ahead of it.

In allowing myself to be carried, I am letting go of all attempts to make any decisions on my own. It is in this relinquishment that I experience the peace that is my inheritance. Today I will practice letting myself be carried in each moment.
