Only what you have not given can be lacking in any situation. (A Course in Miracles)
Simply give your best each day and you will not experience lack. Just do your best – no better and no worse. Calmly, steadily, lovingly offer what only you can give and do not withhold it from any brother or sister who looks to you.
This requires a spiritual knowing – a faith that, if you show up each day with an open heart and an open mind, if you are prepared to contribute your unique capabilities, if you can see past ego and connect with your brothers and sisters on the level of the soul, if you can focus your attention on the work or on some other form of service – then you will experience the full abundance of life. This abundance comes in the form of money, security, safety, freedom, love, peace, pleasure and beauty.
Abundance without limit is only possible through spiritual faith. To retreat from faith is to doubt, to become greedy, to attack, or to seek comfort from fear and frustration by isolating yourself. But faith is an unshakable knowing of your true, sacred identity as consciousness in this eternal present moment. It isn’t easy to face the world in faith, but neither is the path of fear and sacrifice. Faith requires no sacrifice; rather, that you maintain your freedom and your truth.
So we awaken to spiritual faith – a deep commitment to love and truth. Then we create systems and we set prices that accurately represents the value we create. Now we give our best each day just as we take care of ourselves and each other. Sometimes your best is just showing up, just telling the truth, just accepting someone. We continue tomorrow and each day after that.
