The Next Step
When you accept that there is nowhere to go but to Me, there is nowhere to reach but to Me, there is nothing to gain but Me, which is to say, yourSelf, then you won’t worry so much about where you put your foot next.
You may think there is a huge gulch you must step over, but wherever you put your foot, you will find firm terrain. You have no big decisions to make. You just have the next step to take. Just put your foot somewhere. You are inevitably going in an upward spiral.
When you glue yourself to the relative, you hesitate. You think each step is momentous. Remember you are climbing a golden ladder to Truth. Truth by whatever name it is called is the star at the top of the ladder. Call it Heaven. Call it God. There is only one direction to climb on a ladder, and that is Up. If you need to pause at a rung, that’s fine, but a pause is not long immobility. It is a pause.
You are to have no anxiety about your path. You are securely on it. You are climbing your path. There is nothing else for you to climb but this golden ladder. You fear you will make a mistake. Beloveds, you cannot fall from this golden ladder you climb. Wherever you step, that is the perfect step for the moment. It will lead to the next one.
Life is not a game of chess, beloveds, where you can know your next move. Yet life is an easier game. You just take your turn. One foot up at a time. Left foot, right foot, it doesn’t matter. There is no winning. There is no losing. This is your life you lead. You lead it. You do not wait for signs. If you must see a sign, it is one that says Your Turn, or it says Next, or it says Come This Way. If there are a dozen signs that say Come This Way, make a decision. The thing is you have to take a next step. You are not to hover on the ladder waiting for the perfect next step.
There is no step that will not lead to Me. Therefore, all steps are perfect, and you have nothing to waver over.
You want a lit-up trail to Me. You want it marked in stone and lit by an angel star. All the stars are lighting your way. Do not wait for a special benediction. You have already been blessed to find your way to Me. If you knew every single twist and turn, what would be the point of your being on Earth?
If you knew your way around New York City, what would you tour?
But you do know your way around some places. You didn’t always know for a certainty.
Did you think uncertainty is forbidden? Uncertainty will surely bring you treasures. You may stumble over them. You are where you are supposed to be now. If you are at a crossroads, you are supposed to be at a crossroads. You are the decider of your life. Go left or go right, and make your decision good. It is good to make a decision. Making a decision is making a move.
Beloveds, you have to take a chance on life. What else is there to do?
The relative life has no certainty. The only certainty is that you are on your way to Me, even as you have never left Me, even as there is nowhere to go, and nothing to choose but Me. The relative life is what it is. It is also what you make it.
