Q&A — Let Go, Let God, and Let Good
11/30/08 Inspirations
Q I want to do what God wants me to do. But how can I, when I feel so inadequate?
A You’re not inadequate. You’re perfect because you were made the way the Creator of the universe wanted you made.
Q Then why do I feel so inadequate?
A Because you aren’t looking at yourself from God’s viewpoint. You’re comparing yourself to others from a worldly viewpoint and are trying to conform to worldly ideals.
Q Isn’t it important to fit in with the rest of the world?
A Sometimes yes and sometimes no. But if you truly want to do God’s will you must consult Him; not someone shackled to the same world you are.
Q How do I consult God?
A You shut out, as much as possible, the world around you and ask God to help you recognize His will.
Q Will I hear His answer?
A You might, but it’s more probable that you will come to “feel” His answer in your heart.
Q What does my heart have to do with it?
A The heart symbolizes God’s grace inside you that helps you recognize bad from good.
Q I feel like I’m a good person, but that still doesn’t seem adequate. I should be doing more.
A It’s your spirit that’s the symbol of God dwelling within you. The more you welcome Him into your spirit, the more adequate you will feel. This will be true joy because its source is in reality; not the distortion that passes for reality in the world in which we live.
Q How does being in touch with God in my spirit make me feel more adequate?
A Because now you’re dealing in more than bad and good the way it appears written on your heart. Now you are aware of the supergood possible because of the presence of God in your spirit – a higher plane, so to speak.
Q I will be at my best because of God in my spirit?
A By welcoming Him you’re saying you want the same thing He wants – there is no higher aspiration or greater possible power for attaining it.
Q How do I welcome God into my spirit?
A He is already there. You must ask for His help to recognize Him and His desires.
Q How do I ask that?
A Speak to Him in prayer. If you truly and humbly wish to please God, He will answer that wish in some way unknown except by Him. Since you’re attuned to Him, you will pick up on His desires. You cannot be inadequate when you and God are attuned because God will not allow it, no matter what the world may say.
