In a Garden
All good is on its way to you. Are you ready to receive? This is the question I ask you.
You say: “You bet, God, I am ready to receive. Bring it on.”
Even so, you may have some attachment to having something to find fault with. Some attachment perhaps to being wronged and put upon. You are so accustomed to your life being a battle fought on all fronts. The fists of your mind are ready and waiting for a fight. You have your dukes up. What is the tenseness you carry with you but readiness to fight? What is tenseness but that? And what good does this tension-producing readiness do for you?
Have the idea that you do not need to defend yourself. Let go of need to defend in the same way you let go of need to offend. You don’t need either.
What if you could live in a friendly world that wants you here and wants to treat you well? If you would put your dukes down, you would come to see this as so. Let down your barriers. Tenseness is not your friend. You don’t need its protection. Tenseness does not protect you anyway. It rattles you, it makes you nervous. Put down your arms. Tenseness isn’t giving you much help anyway, is it? It does you no good. It keeps you in restraints.
If you want to relax, let go of any perceived need to be tense, and you will know relaxation. Take a vacation from tenseness. Be done with it. Why would you keep it? Don’t be a hoarder. Let go of all that doesn’t serve you or the Kingdom.
