WHEN you refuse to learn a lesson one way, it will be presented to you in another way. There is always the easy way, but when you refuse to accept it, the more difficult and complicated way will be presented to you. Why not learn your lessons the easy way? Why not be like a little child, eager and receptive to all that is taking place in your life, and unfold with it all in the most natural way? That is My plan for you, so why make life difficult for yourself when it is not necessary? It only holds up progress when you do. You will find, as you learn to put Me first before all else, that everything will fall into place perfectly. When you can raise your consciousness and keep it raised to a spiritual level in life, to what matters, then vast changes will take place and life will unfold for you without any effort. Life is very simple. Why make it complicated for yourself?
