Dependence on God

Holy Spirit to Mary:
Placing your trust in God is allowing yourself to be totally dependent on God. To be totally dependent on God is to give God your total attention. You are quiet and open to God’s gift of peace. You are open to your inner Teacher’s inspiration and guidance. You willingly give time to serving Love’s one purpose — to extend Love equally to all of Itself.

You are learning that opening to receiving God’s Love and extending God’s Love is a full-time job. This is what brings you joy and a sense of deep happiness and well-being. You freely give all the Love that you have, because you know there is no lack of Love. Accepting and giving Love’s abundance is your full-time focus. Nothing else matters. Accepting this truth is your opportunity today. Enjoying What you are and Where you are is your opportunity today. It is your gift to receive and extend.

Robert:
If I completely trusted God, I would feel perfectly safe because I would know that I am supported by the Source of all strength and limitless Love. I would need nothing else.

The fact that I don’t feel that safety is a sure indication that I am trusting in my own strength because I am denying my Source of strength. Having denied the Source of strength, a sense of vulnerability and weakness is inevitable. The ego is the idea of independence, being separate, and therefore perceives dependence on God as weakness. This is typical of perception, which always sees itself reflected back to it.

The way back to the complete assurance of my wholeness and invulnerability is to let go of belief in being separate. I do this whenever I remember to step back and welcome my inner Teacher’s vision in place of the ego’s projections. Today as I practice doing this, I continue on my journey of awakening to my wholeness in Love.
