What’s gripping you? What situation is having its way with you in your life? It’s easy to become victim to the worries and concerns that weigh on our hearts and minds. The suffering we experience is real no matter how temporal our realities may be. The question is not how to become free from our suffering, but how to remain steadfast in our faith in the midst of our pain.
To remain steadfast in our faith, is to remember. Remember so that you don’t get lost in your worries.
Remember who you are. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin says that “we are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” While you may have some ups and downs in life, your spirit remains. Breathe, seek solace and care tenderly to the spirit within you to find a sense of knowing, comfort, and guidance.
To remain steadfast in our faith, is to remember. Remember so that you don’t get lost in your worries.
Remember your last testimony. How easy it is to forget how you made it through the last storm. We often make it through past struggles either victoriously and or just plain make it through only to focus on the next struggle or the next challenge. Your life is a resource….it has taught you to endure. No matter what you may have gone through or faced in your past, the life force running through you is strong and you are still here. You are here wiser, stronger, better.
To remain steadfast in our faith, is to remember. Remember so that you don’t get lost in your worries.
Remember that you are not alone. Spirit is present. Loving universal energy surrounds you. The ancestors are walking beside you. Take time to connect with that which gives you life, the source of all Creation. Whatever that may be for you, it is Good and it has everything you need.
