The Flower Doesn't Hurry - Emilie Van Cleave

Today’s Message: The Flower Doesn’t Hurray

Freedom includes the grace to unfold in our own season. This message explores the spiritual art of patience, presence, and trust in the natural rhythm of becoming.

My reading is from This Thing Called You: Ernest Holmes

Your thought is creative, not because you will, wish, hope or long for it to be so. It is creative because there is a creative law operating upon it. You did not make this law, you only use it. It is important that you maintain a strict censorship over your thinking. Just as you watch your garden that foreign seeds shall not fall into it, producing a growth of undesirable plants, so you must refuse entrance to any thoughts you do not wish to see manifested in your life.

Guard well this garden of your mind. It is God’s garden of your soul. It is your Garden of Eden wherein may grow your fondest desires and hopes, blossoming into fulfillment. Or, if you permit, the weeds of destruction, fear and doubt. Watch carefully, then, this garden of your soul. Plant only seeds of happiness, of joy, of peace and of goodwill.

It may be necessary to cultivate your garden, to uproot the weeds and straighten out the rows, planting new seeds…new ideas, broader visions and deeper realizations of life. New aspirations must be bedded here, fertilized with the fervor of hope, the conviction of faith, the beauty of wholeness and the quietness of peace. Watch our garden carefully, guard it patiently (divine right timing), waiting patiently for a new harvest…for you shall reap what you have sown.

The Law of Life can work for you only as it works through your thought patterns. Since it is possible to control your thoughts, it is possible to control your destiny.
