Expectancy

"In spiritual mind treatment we are dealing with a Law as definite as that which takes a cabbage seed and makes a cabbage out of it instead of a cauliflower. We are dealing with a creative Power that acts upon our thinking. This Power we did not make, but we may use. It operates upon us like all other forces in nature. With this in mind, we have every right to expect all that is desirable. We should daily affirm that new ideas are coming to us, new ways of doing things; that we are meeting new and wonderful friends, new situations; that joyous things are going to happen to us.   The creative Power is always reacting to us as we act in It. It is always creating in our bodies and in our affairs. Consequently, we should all learn to live in a state of joyous and enthusiastic expectancy. This is the principle upon which faith or the answer to prayer is based. Let us, then, bless everything we do and everyone we meet, knowing that the limitations of the past need not be carried into the future. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too good to be true. Nothing is too much to ask of the Power that can do anything. Today I go forth in joy, knowing that everyone is my friend, knowing that I am a friend to all. I believe that Divine Love is protecting me and Divine Intelligence is guiding me. It is my sincere desire to share everything I have with others and to expect the greatest good for everyone. Knowing that the same Spirit, the One Spirit of the living God, is in all, over all, and through all, I expect more good than I have ever experienced. I am keeping my mind open to Divine intuition, the instinctive knowledge that is the omnipresent Wisdom that ordains, governs, and controls everything."   "My soul, wait thou only upon God: for my expectation is from him." —PSALM 62:5
