We must not expect, no matter what our desires may be, to have others do just as we may wish them to.
When we say, “Ask and you will receive.” which, of course, is a famous quote from the Bible, what is meant by that saying? Is it meant literally? No, it is not quite meant that way, although if we picture what we desire long enough and couple it with action toward our goal, we are bound to have our desires accomplished. This is so unless our desires involve other people to a degree where their well-being is concerned.
We must not expect, no matter what our desires may be, to have others do just as we may wish them to. Their rights as individuals being concerned and their desires also to be taken into consideration make this difficult to achieve. Yet it is not impossible and if no harm is involved to the people, but really their greater good, then sometimes it is accomplished.
We should ask in a general way for greater peace, greater harmony and joy in the life and a greater tolerance for the ways and the rights of others. In that way we set up a spiritual awareness that will bring these conditions to us if we are faithful and all things and people involved fall into the right perspective.
Love is the greatest force and should lead us into the perfect peace and harmony we seek. “Seek ye first the Kingdom of Heaven within you and all else will be added to you.”
