What do you really believe? It is as a man thinketh in his heart that matters, says the Bible, and this means the heartfelt conviction as distinct from mere formal assent.
If you want to know what you really believe, simply watch what you do. We always do what we believe, although we frequently talk differently. If you feel that you are not making the most of your life, change your beliefs. Your present beliefs must be wrong if they are not producing harmony and satisfaction.
Start believing in health; start believing in prosperity; start believing in the Christ in those about you; start believing that your own divine Selfhood is rapidly unfolding. Act as though you believed these things and the results will surprise you.
For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul…Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as was told me (Acts 27: 23-25)
Acting as if we believe is the key to out picturing that which we think and feel. Often is is very difficult to do, especially when our external world is filled with the opposite of that for which we pray or desire. It is precisely then that we must make a “leap of faith”.
Many times a leap of faith feels just like falling. Other times we may have to take a step toward an invisible bridge. Picture in your mind the scene in the Indiana Jones movie in which he stepped out on thin air expecting to fall just a his foot found an invisible bridge to the Holy Grail. He was acting as if he believed.
Not all of our actions require so much courage and faith, but many do. When we are willing to take a big or small step into the unknown to follow our faith, then we will find our footfalls leading to the garden God gave us. There we will experience harmony, satisfaction, health, prosperity and our ever growing divine selfhood.
Happy trails,

Author’s Note: Today we are blessed to welcome a new visitor to the Good Morning Garden. She has spent her adult life sharing the truth with us in courage; with clarity and depth. Today she continues that tradition through the documentation of the words, work and life of another great and fearless truth sharer. She is in like company in that endeavor, and we are all lifted up by her presence in the garden with us. That’s your wicker chair over by the sunny nook, sister. Relax, take a deep breath and smell the roses. “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”
Peace
