We have a consciousness that will hold and wait with the greatest of patience. Then, when we come, it's like the returning of the prodigal son or daughter. There is a celebration. Why wait, holding for some perfect moment? Let's celebrate now.

Be patient, because that is part of your spiritual discipline. Be patient. Be now. Be here. Don't forget that it's all here already.

Q: How can I have more patience and acceptance with people and be less frustrated and irritated with them? A: All the people around you have been sent by the Spirit to help you by letting you see what bothers you so you can deal with it in a more uplifting manner.

I see it as a daily cycle where we need to renew ourself in some way during that period. It can be something in which you ask God to come in and be the caretaker, even at the basic level. If we are out of focus, like in a so-called crisis or emergency, we would call upon God to do what God can do, which is miraculous beyond explanation. God could sustain the heart or bring peace and restoration.

One of the great disturbers of peace is impatience. "Why is it taking so long?" "Why does it hurt?" "Why is it there?" "I thought I was through with that!" Well, it just does what it does, and you do what you do. You might as well get your doing in sync with what is going on. In that, you'll find more peace.

We have to change our ways. We have to pull back our individualized forms that are not allowing the highest good to come present. How could we possibly do that? Let go so completely so that you let God in completely. It's kind of simple. Relax. Be open and accepting. Patience is the next byword.

Whatever we're carrying as the karma surfaces, and it can surface on all levels - physically, mentally, emotionally, and psychically - doesn't necessarily mean that the way your lifestyle is and what you're doing is bad, wrong, or needs fixing. It may just mean to have some patience with yourself. Your karma is at work, so things are surfacing to be completed and cleared for your highest good.

God is already present inside you. You just need to be patient as that truth reveals itself to you. As you relax and listen within, you will automatically start to attune yourself to the presence of God. With that awareness, you can begin to let God take charge.

Everything doesn't have to be changed overnight. Be patient with yourself, keep loving yourself and give yourself credit for the steps you are taking.

Patience is the password, love is the message, and receiving is the process.
