         Am I not the Master of the Universe? All riches, all wealth, and all abundance belong to Me. I give and I take. I cause men to abound and to abase. I have in My hands all that you ask, all that you seek, and all that you strive for.
         I am willing and able to bless you and reward you with not only the unity and the love and the closeness that you seek in your family relationship, but also with material blessings, with finances, with success in your job. But it is a two-way street: I cannot bless you and supply for you and do what you ask unless you are doing what I ask. You must trust Me and have faith in Me. Do your part and I will do the rest.
         Be like Mary, who was content to sit at My feet, listen to My Words, and spend time with Me, rather than her sister Martha who strove to work, but neglected My fellowship for "a good cause," desiring to gain My favor and to do things that would please Me. It pleases Me greatly if you spend time with Me, and spend time doing My bidding, feeding My sheep. Then your work will be blessed, you will reap dividends, and you will float effortlessly down the path of My will.
         The secret is in spending time with Me--time in My Word, time to be strengthened, to have your faith renewed and your connection and your link with Me established. That is the secret to success.
