STOP ASKING, SO YOU CAN RECEIVE

It is said, “Knock, and it shall be opened to you”. “Ask, and you shall receive.” This is true.

There is one moment in eternal now when things happen. It is this moment.

When we spend this moment “asking for”, we confess to the Universe we do not have. It is difficult to receive when we confess we do not have.

It is difficult to say, “Thank you”, for that which is not manifest in our lives. But, we possess many blessings which have not yet become conscious to us.

There comes a time, and that time is now, when we must give thanks for that which we cannot perceive is present in our lives.

Remember, to “ask for” is to confess we do not have. Now is the time to be thankful for that which is ours, but yet to manifest.

As Meister Eckhart admonished, “If the only prayer you ever speak is Thanksgiving, that is sufficient.”

As our celebration of Thanksgiving is upon us, let us give thanks for all the good things for which we would ask as if they are ours, and we will discover that many of them are ours, and will then manifest.

Accept unseen blessings, and they may become seen. Give thanks now, seen or unseen, then realize the meaning of Thanksgiving.
