A Story of Faith

By Mary Robinson Reynolds

Today, I want to share with you one of my favorite stories from a book I’ve enjoyed, The Wisdom of Florence Scoval Shinn.

A woman who lived in a country town wished to sell her house and furniture. It was in the winter with snow so deep it was almost impossible for cars or wagons to reach her door.

As she had asked God to sell her furniture to the right person for the right price, she was unmindful of appearances. She polished the furniture, pushed it into the middle of the room and prepared to sell it. She said: “I never looked out of the window at the blizzard, I simply trusted God’s promises.” In miraculous ways people drove up, and all the furniture was sold, and the house also.

Faith never looks out the window at the blizzard, it simply prepares for the blessing asked for. Whether it’s money, relationships, health, etc: what is the blizzard that keeps getting your focus, attention and belief? Where your attention is, therein lies your intention.

To grow in faith, you must flex your spiritual muscle. It’s really simple: study new ways of thinking, apply what you are learning, and formulate MasterMind Requests about what you really want in your heart of hearts.

If you have failed to attain your heart’s desires even though you have worked long and hard to do so both mentally and physically, dare to learn how to think, and therefore, manifest differently! You do not have to beg, argue or reason with anyone or anything—simply choose what you intend.

As soon as you change your thinking sufficiently and are ready to receive your demonstration, it will be ready for you, and it will come. Nothing can stop it. Nothing has ever stopped it but your own “it’s got to be hard” error thinking.

When you change your mind, when you connect on a consistent basis with your source, you will learn the ease with which you can transform your experience. You cannot force it, so you might as well relax into it. Learn how to think a thing through rather than trying to force it through.

From my heart to your heart,
