Fundamental goodness.
I am reminded of the fundamental goodness of the universe, the Love that is God. I don’t mean the love humans have for their homes, cars, sports teams, foods, and the like. I mean that harmonic vibration that we tune into which brings the inner peace, the freedom, and the knowing that all is right […]
Inferiority to confidence
I am reminded how my inferiority complex drove me to compete against everyone, if only in my head. This belief led me to judge myself and others. With some people I would try to be the best friend they ever had because I felt like I had to have friends to feel worthy. I became […]
Three essentials.
I am reminded of the three essentials for my freedom and happiness. Humility, fearlessness, and honesty. When I first got sober, I was fearful of judgement of myself and from others. I hid my fear behind arrogance which, in and of itself, is dishonest. I was also maintaining secrets which were eating away at me. […]
Persistence.
I am reminded how spiritual development happens through daily persistence of living the way you believe God wants you to live. I came to an understanding of how God wants me to live through discovering what brings me joy and happiness. Each day I begin with gratitude, through statements of appreciation. I follow that with […]
Humility
I am reminded of my journey of discovering humility. I was first introduced to it through feelings of humiliation, yet that was created through my ego. I first understood humility when I needed it to get sober. I then realized I wanted it because it created feelings I preferred. Now I have practices which bring […]
Abundant life.
I am reminded how a life of abundance is not necessarily defined by money. In the meditation this morning it occurred to me how there is an abundance of all things. We are allowed an abundance of peace, joy, happiness, freedom, beliefs, opinions, perspectives, and Love. Each being has the right to obtain an abundance […]
Every need.
I used to hold to the idea that my needs fit into different categories. Spiritual needs were in their place, mental needs had their corner, physical needs had their spot, and emotional needs were of course off on their own. When they were all separate, I could not balance them. When I would begin my […]
Many forms.
I am reminded how there are many forms of faith. Many have faith in intellectualism, others have faith in something they cannot see, feel, taste, touch, and science cannot prove, others have faith in nothing. My experience and my studies of each of the types of faith have shown me that the name does not […]
Deaf ears.
I have heard many people say how when they prayed it felt as though their prayers were falling on deaf ears. I have been there and felt that. It has been my experience that God is always here in all beings and is the Source of all creation. God does not ignore us. My prayers […]
It is.
I am reminded how everything happens in my life as it should for my greatest good. This means every experience I have had, has been a part of God’s will for me. There has not been one wrong decision on my part, every experience has been a lesson for my soul to learn. My human […]
