by | Feb 3, 2023 | General

WEEK 153

God, what is your guidance for me today?

Stay in the deep parts of your being today.

Speak and act from the integrity of your spirit.

Let all you do be an honest expression of your soul.

Be guided by love.

Live this day with appreciation for your being,

realizing that I have brought your soul back

to you this day from your sleep.

Remember that you have purpose.

As you live and work and rest this day,

expand your soul to meet with love, care, and respect,

those with whom you share the day.

Let the beauty of your being flow with ease and grace.

Even when you are alone, let your thoughts

be wholesome and good. Do not let

your mind think whatever it wants.

You can direct and guide your mind.

Stay in the deep parts of your being today.

Speak and act with integrity.

Be guided by love.

 

Evening Reflection 

It is always a powerful experience to write these daily guidances. It is a particularly unique experience when the pronoun “I” comes through. I do not know until fractions of a second before I write what is going to come through. So, I was surprised when… “I have brought your soul back to you this day” came through.

I certainly do not claim to have any special ability to write as if I am the Divinity that I desire to hear from. Or to open myself to let it come through in first person as it does upon occasion, this being one. But when it does occur, it is like a priceless gift.

Today, the encouragement to stay deep yielded some beautiful interactions as I journeyed the hours. My wife and I hosted our monthly event, an open house, where we give people a taste of our work, which includes tap dancing. We have shoes for those who enter our studio, and it is amazing to watch people move from fear to courage to joy once they are in tap shoes and start making sounds… some for the first time ever!

But even more rewarding are the conversations. And today’s guidance helped me remember to stay in the depths of my soul. It turned out that most of the visitors who came and hung out wanted to engage deeply. Ahh… I realized; this is why the guidance came. It was for the people sent our way today. The omniscience of God prepared me for those I did not know were coming. 

Glad I followed today’s guidance.

And you?
