God Grant Me the strength
God has been my lover for a long time, but about five years ago today I spontaneously asked God to be my business partner. Because I just don't always trust myself, and I'm working on it, but I trust God more (and hey let's be real, I'm WIP recovering co-dependent.)
I realized the part of me that doesn't like to be alone, is the part of me that is also so devoted and fierce about living a life of service, deep authentic connection, with purpose, true happiness and the BEST love. And together...God and I make a great team!
We begin to know overtime we have options on the path. That's why we do the work. Not to stop doing the work, (which is what i'm always kinda looking to do haha), but to use "the work" as the essence and core of our precious lives. It's obvious in people who have been at it for a while like my teachers, elders in the spiritual community, or like Ram Dass. Take a good long look at him.
The bottoms we hit build our relationship to strength and show us how much more we can trust. When we really need it, most of us find that Grace has been there all along. It's not that we have to suffer essentially, but if it's your dharma to be a warrior of love, then you must keep that fire burning, even after you get burned. You have to stand back up into the arms of Grace.
The path we take to fulfill these precious lives, our hearts longings and wishes is one of service, and a commitment to return to Love no matter how far we stray. To do Gods will takes a tremendous amount of courage and persistence.
Because you are doing big things. Not that they always look “big”
on th4e outside although they may, they will feel big to you and look different for a ll of us, but nonetheless being able to show up fully in this crazy ass world with your HEART open is a big deal. How you help others no matter what that looks like is a big deal. Because how else would we learn about the magical, divine preciousness of life.
When we wake up, we remember the preciousness of life and the power of Love. We all want to feel love and we all want to belong. And when our worlds are reflecting that JOY!
And when they aren't, we have an opportunity to go deeper into our worlds as healers, and lovers and as warriors of the truth, friends, lovers, mothers and business partners of God. (sometimes after a period of kicking and screaming).
I love to witness and be a part of others peoples healing and transformation. It's the most satisfying thing in the world to me to be able to be a support for what is good in the world. I imagine you feel the same. It's why we're here.
Call someone you know needs some love, or reach out for your own heart of you need it, and share kindness and warmth with those around you. Bring enthusiasm into your work and your day, and see what happens. None of us want to live in a world where we are too busy for that.
You and God take good care of your precious life and heart, and I'll do the same. That way, when we come together, magic naturally unfolds.
I love you ... and I see your precious life and heart, even when you think it's in the dark.
