Learning to Love What is
One of the most challenging spiritual practices that we can master is learning to love what is. Humanly, there are many things we don't like: certain aspects of our bodies, our homes, our jobs, our relationships, to name a few. Humanly, we are often complainers. We complain about the weather, the government, our neighbors, other people, just to name a few. Humanly, we think nothing of voicing our complaints, and we all know someone who likes nothing better than to condemn, judge or gripe about something. Perhaps that someone is you? Well, that is part of our human nature, but is is our truth? What about our Spiritual self? Scripture teaches us that we must learn to pray and worship in spirit and truth. The opposite of condemnation and complaining is gratitude, appreciation and peace. These are some of our spiritual truths. Can we learn to make them our way?
Let’s take a step back and look objectively at our way. Let’s reflect again on the Thought for Today…
I appreciate my life just as it is, for I know I am the image and likeness of God; I allow spirit to move me in beautiful and wonderful ways.
Amen, amen...
