Bette Jean Cundiff

          How come you aren’t walking on water yet after all you the hours spent studying your spiritual lessons and consistently practicing them for years?

          Ahhh, but wait. You are!

          Each time your rage cools to calm.

          Each time your fear turns to comfort.

          Each time your guilt transforms into insight.

          And each time all this opens compassionate understanding for others.

          Yes, each of these many times you have walked on the emotional waters of your mind. And you have accomplished these miracles instant by healing instant by holy instant.

          And what about all those in between instants when you kept sinking instead of walking? Not to worry, another holy instant is always right by your fingertips – a lifesaver thrown to you by the Love of the Universe – and it’s easy to grab when you ‘choose once again.’

And there you go gliding on top of the water. Glorious!
