But how is one to find one's true place in life? Is there any means where you may discover what it really is that God wishes you to do?
You may feel inclined to say: "Even if it be true that God has some splendid thing [for me] to do, and to be, how can I possibly find out what it is?" Perhaps you may even be tempted to add: "I am a very plain, everyday sort of person; my circumstances are extremely restricted; the conditions of my life are just drab commonplace. How then can there be something wonderful, beautiful, splendid awaiting me? Or, even if there were, how could I possibly get to know about it?"
And the answer is Divinely simple. Already in your past life from time to time, God has whispered into your heart just that very wonderful thing, whatever it is, that God is wishing you to be, and to do, and to have. And that wonderful thing is nothing less than what is called Your Heart's Desire. Nothing less than that.
The most secret, sacred wish that lies deep down at the bottom of your heart, the wonderful thing that you hardly dare to look at, or to think about--the thing that you would rather die than have anyone else know of, because it seems so far beyond anything that you are, or have at the present time, that you fear that you would be cruelly ridiculed if the mere thought of it were known--that is just the very thing that God is wishing you to do or to be for God.
And the birth of that marvelous wish in our soul--the dawning of that secret dream--was the Voice of God itself telling you to arise and come up higher because God has need of you.
