Fifty-two
There are times when it feels as if you have so little power, even over your own life, that it’s hardly worth it to try. You’ll make the best of whatever comes your way, creating small moments of beauty and happiness, but you won’t be able to alter the big picture. But this week, see what happens if you allow yourself to imagine that you can change the world around you — and your own trajectory. You may be proven right.
Patience I
Is not a child of God worth patience? I have shown you infinite patience because my will is that of our Father, from Whom I learned of infinite patience. His voice was in me as It is in you, speaking for patience towards the Sonship in the Name of its Creator.
Now you must learn that only infinite patience produces immediate effects. This is the way in which time is exchanged for eternity. Infinite patience calls upon infinite love, and by producing results now it renders time unnecessary.
