You are never given a wish without also being given
the power to make it true.
You may have to work for it however.”
-Richard Bach, Illusions.

I love the quote above.  I believe “wishes,” which are God thoughts flowing within, do come true.  How hard do we have to work to make it happen? That depends on our ability to surrender to the Divine for a perfect outcome.

The Blue Ring 

There was a lady who really wanted to have a beautiful blue ring. She wasn’t exactly sure the hue or stone, she just knew she “wished” for a blue ring. One day she went out to find it. She was not looking for an expensive ring, just a lovely costume jewelry ring. The first day she went to Target, Steinmart, Walmart and Kohls. No luck.
The second day she went to Macy’s, then Claires.  Claires has the most inexpensive jewelry she ever saw and found a pretty mood ring for about $7.00.  At this point she was tired of looking and decided to settle on that ring.  As she was waiting for the saleslady, a most Divine thought came to her. It said,
“Do you not feel worthy of a beautiful, valuable ring?” That idea really startled her for a moment.  She thought, “Yes, I am worthy, and I don’t want to spend a lot of money on a ring.”
At that point she left Claires and decided to go to JC Pennys. Not expecting to find a ring there, she was mildly surprised to see a lovely costume jewelry ring. It was a size too big, but she thought, “Oh well, I can wear it on a different finger.” (settle for second best?) While  waiting to purchase it, she looked down through  the counter glass and there she saw the most gorgeous BLUE ring. The quality and value was so apparent, She remembered the divine thought.  Was she worthy? YES!
LONG STORY SHORT!  The lady bought the more expensive ring, which made her heart sing and gave her joy!  With discounts and sales, this beautiful $200 ring was purchased for $68.
MORAL of the Story?  TRUST in GOD to make wishes come true.  Sometimes we work hard, but once we release and let go of preconceived ideas, GOD can sweep in and Divinely Time, Orchestrate and Manifest the wish.
Who was that lady?  That lady was me!
