Guidance & Reflection – Week 132

WEEK 132

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Be aware of the ebb and flow

of your inner world…

your emotions, thoughts, and moods.

Like the high and low tides of the oceans,

watch the tides within you…

remembering the waters that move within.

Remember that in the deepest part of you

there is stillness and peace.

Today, no matter what occurs…

stay connected to these depths

of you.

Let no negativity of thought or feeling

find its way to the surface to be 

expressed.

Let it, instead, rest in your peace and tranquility.

Let your moods anchor themselves in 

the joy of being.

Today, love people… and be kind in

thought, word, and deed.

Will you?

Evening Reflection 

I notice that when I take on a spiritual challenge, there seems to be its opposing challenge more times than not. It is as if there is the positive and the negative of it. Another analogy might be… “the other side of the coin.”

In life there are opposites. But there is no opposite to love. Okay, there is apathy. 

That being said, I experienced today, two events that brought up negativity in me. It was simply a rebelliousness that wanted to do the opposite of being nice. And I was able to watch these feelings from the vantage point of a watcher – watching me have the experience. Now, there was no particular reason to have this rebelliousness. I could tell it was the part of me and my ego that was stubborn; that is, not wanting to let Spirit have its way. It was like my ego was throwing a tantrum. It did not want to be bossed by my spiritual will. 

After allowing myself the recognition of what was happening, I willed myself to think kinder thoughts. I decided to BE kind. I smiled and decided to engage and be interested in the people and situations that precipitated the challenge.

And it worked. 

Once I made the decision to love the negativity vanished, and just like that… the joy began to flow through. It was easy. 

The hard part is making the decision to be loving and kind, or even to be willing to be willing. When that happens the grace of God can take you the rest of the way. 

And it will if you let it.

Did you, today?
