The Law of Growth

"But there is one thing we must not forget, and this is the Law of Growth. If the Law which we plant is the seed, then we must allow time for it to grow; we must leave it alone and go about our business as usual, and the seed we have sown will spring and grow up of itself, we know not how, a truth which we have been told by the Master himself (Mark iv, 26, 29).

We must not be like children who plant a seed one day, and dig it up the next to see whether it is growing. Our part is to plant the seed, not to make it grow,--the Creative Law of Life will do that. It is for this reason that the Bible gives us such injunctions as "Study to be quiet...He that believe shall not make haste" (Is. xxviii, 16)


I have not written in a while. A lot has transpired since I last wrote. I have been tested and have relied on Spirit. I have taken the Principle and used it and proved it true. I have learned to pray unceasingly and have reaped the benefits of this. I have decided to remain steadfast in my growth in embodying this Principle and walking in truth at all times.

The above quote struck me this morning because I find that so many times, we do not always trust the Law of Growth. I understand now that as I plant the seed, I can trust in it. I no longer rip out the roots to test what Spirit is doing. I am quiet and still and expectant.

Thomas Troward also wrote something else that struck me and that was that we are not praying to have things, but that we might become. That is how we use our Word constructively and for our highest good. The Law only understand becoming. Now, I know we are already that which we are seeking to become, so we are only praying to know that fully in mind.

And so today, I claim that I am, that we are that which we seek. I trust the Law of Growth and I continue to walk on the path as that allness in everything that I think and do.

Blessings,
