I love the old adage that for every small step you take toward God, God takes a giant step toward you. I love it because although it might perpetuate our mythologized and humanized God in the wrong hands, it offers a useful spiritual principle in the right hands.
You see, with every decision you make, no matter how small, you are generating spiritual momentum. With every decision you make, no matter how small, you are focusing the unlimited creative potential of the universe in support of a certain direction for your life.
And the unlimited creative potential of the universe is immune to earthly law.
So while from an earthly perspective, every small step you take toward your good brings you one small step closer to your good, from a spiritual perspective, every small step you take toward your good brings serendipities and support and miracles well beyond your human capacity to engineer.
That's why it's so important to lose the first pound from that holiday feast. That's why it's so important to make the first deposit into that dormant savings account. That's why it's so important to pay the first bill in that overdue pile.
You see, with every decision you make, no matter how small, you are generating spiritual momentum. With every decision you make, no matter how small, you are focusing the unlimited creative potential of the universe in support of your abundance or in support of your poverty; in support of your health or in support of your dis-ease; in support of your freedom or in support of your bondage.
