Tao of Yeshua: Chapter 36

36
What you wish to contract, you must first allow to expand.
What you wish to weaken, you must first allow to strengthen.
What you wish to tear down, you must first allow to build up.
What you wish to take, you must first allow to give.
This is wisdom from seeing the subtle: the soft and pliable overcomes the hard and inflexible.
Just as fish should not be taken from the deep, the state's weapons should not be displayed.

Let Adonai own the world.
He has plans for all things
in their proper time
to prosper and recede.
Be part of his plans;
do not try to force the world.
