Nothing is by chance. There is a perfect pattern and plan running through the whole of life, and you are part of that wholeness and therefore part of that perfect pattern and plan. When you see strange things happening in your life and wonder why they should happen to you, take time to see how it all fits in,and you will see a reason for everything. The reasons may not always be what you expected, but nevertheless be willing to accept them and to learn by them, and do not fight against them. Life should be effortless. A flower does not struggle to unfold in the rays of the sun, so why should you struggle to unfold in the rays of My limitless love? If you do, it is of your own doing, and it is not part of My perfect pattern and plan for you. Simplicity is My hallmark, so keep life simple. Keep in constant contact with Me, and watch yourself unfold in My love. 沒有任何事是偶然的。有一個完美的模式與計劃在生命的整體中運作，而我是這整體的一部分，因此也是那完美模式與計劃的一部分。當我看到異常的事情在我生活中發生時，我想弄懂為什麼這一切會發生在我身上，花時間去看見這一切是如何契合的，然後我就會明白所有事情的根源。那根源可能不總是被我所期待，然而要願意去接納它們並從中學習，不要去對抗它們。
生活本應是無為而治。一朵花不會在陽光下掙扎著開放，所以為什麼我在上天那無限的愛之光下掙扎著去展開呢？如果我這樣做，那就是我自己的作為，它並不是上天為我所（設計的）完美模式與計劃的一部分。簡單是上天的標誌，因此讓生活保持簡單。與上天保持時常的連接，並看見我自己在上天的愛中展開。
