God's trust in you is limitless, giving without exception, holding nothing back that can contribute to your happiness. And yet, unless your will in one with His, His gifts are not received.
Here is the paradox that underlies the making of the world. This world is not the Will of God, and so it is not real. Yet those who think it real must still believe there is another will. Every mind that looks upon the world and judges it as certain, solid, trustworthy and true believes in two creators; or in one, himself alone. But never in one God.
God's gifts go with you, all unknown to you. You cannot lose them. But you will not look at what is given you. You wander on, going ahead to nowhere. In misery and poverty, alone though God is with you, and a treasure so great that everything the world contains is valueless before its magnitude.
This is your chosen self, the one you made as a replacement for reality. This is the self you defend against all reason. You go on, eyes cast down, unless you catch a glimpse of truth, and be released from self-deception and set free.
Your ancient fear has come upon you now. Christ's hand has touched your shoulder, and you feel that you are not alone. Even the miserable self you thought you were may not be your Identity. Perhaps God's Word is truer than your own. Perhaps His gifts to you are real.
God's Will does not oppose. It merely is.
Now do we live, and cannot die. You are not what you pretend to be. He walks with you, answering all your fears with one reply, "It is not so."
The gifts you have are not for you alone. What He has come to offer you, you now must learn to give. The gifts are yours to give to all who chose the lonely road you have escaped. They do not understand they pursue their wishes. It is you who teach them now. For you have learned of Christ there is another way for them to walk. Let sorrow not tempt you to be unfaithful to your trust.
Your change of mind becomes the proof that who accepts God's gifts can never suffer anything. You are entrusted with the world's release from pain.
Betray it not. Become the living proof of what Christ's touch can offer everyone. God has entrusted all His gifts to you. Be witness in your happiness to how transformed the mind becomes which chooses to accept His gifts, and feel the touch of Christ. Such is your mission now. God entrusts the giving of His gifts to all who have received them. He has shared His joy with you. And now you go to share it with the world.
