Are you willing to change? Take time to be still and then be very honest with yourself. Do you feel complacent and self-satisfied? Do you feel it is right for others to change, but your life is all right? If this is your attitude, it is time you had a real spring clean and turned your thinking, in fact the whole of your life, upside down and reviewed the contents. When you have done so, do not start putting back anything unless you are completely satisfied that it is of the highest and you do have need of it. The emptier you are, the better, because you then make room for the new to infil you. It is when you have nothing and feel completely empty that I can step in. Be not distressed when you feel bereft of everything. Call upon Me, and I will give you the kingdom. I withhold nothing from those souls who seek My help and guidance in true humility and love.

　　我願意改變嗎？花時間去安靜，然後對我自己非常坦誠。我感到自鳴得意和自滿嗎？我覺得讓其他人去改變是對的，但我的生活很好不需要什麼改變嗎？如果這是我的態度，那麼現在是我有一個大掃除的時候了，讓我的思維有個大轉彎，事實上，我的整個生命都需要，將它倒轉過來檢查它的內容。

　　當我這樣做完了時，不要開始將任何事物放回去，除非我對它感到完全的滿意，它已經是它最好的了，而我確實需要它。我越空，就越好，因為我就為新事物的填入空出了空間。正是當我身外瞭然無一物，感到徹底的空時，上天就能介入。但不要因為我感到喪失了一切而痛苦。召喚上天，上天就會賜予我那王國。上天對那些在真正的謙遜與愛中尋求上天的幫助和引導的靈魂們毫無保留。
