Mission, Not Ambition

July 4th, 2009 1:20 PM

    When we are able to use that we have in hand, the next step will be given to us. It seems we must spiritualize, or maximize, that we know to do, before we can move on to the next step. Life is progressive, moving us ever upward. Successfully using what we have in hand requires a certain measure of good timing, or knowing just when to utilize or express our God-given talents. This process of knowing is usually accompanied by a sense of certainty or sureness, as opposed to wondering or theorizing. Most of us carry this internal certainty about our loved ones, our personal strengths, our goals - most issues that are important to us.
    God says "I will meet you in your Holy temple," deep inside you, in this place of certainty where Truth and sureness live. When our head gets in the way and much thinking takes over, we lose contact or connection to the still small voice deep inside and Divine guidance is lost. We must learn to move Self out of the way and let God lead. Be mindful each day of this internal urge, knowing the difference between "head talk" and the sureness within. One is ambition and the other is guidance for your spiritual mission here in the earth.
     I pray this day you will express and magnify that which you are certain of and let God decide the outcome.
