I say I want to give God the gift of my life, but every time he wants to use me, I say, "No, don't use me for that." And so, I fight and don't use my life for the purpose I've been given it.
Every heartache is connected to an unseen certainty that I possessed something. Every negative state is connected to something I think is mine. There is an estate in your heart of gratitude. It never asks "Why did that happen?" It understands that whatever happens is just what I need. That estate lives within the Kingdom of Longing where desire is always being answered by the desired. Life always answers everything it needs. The Kingdom of Longing is bordered by endless realms of outpouring and inpouring. But I want inpour with no outpour. But life can't function that way. If you don't agree to the movement, you cannot flower spiritually.

Nothing is yours. Everything is.
