God Talks to the Heart
There are days in our lives where we stop along our path of life and ask, “What is mine to do God? Can you give me a hint, because I am feeling a little lost at the moment! I’ve lost my spiritual compass and I have no idea what direction I am going.” Actually what has happened is we have walked so far, we have finally reached the spiritual fork in the road. One side of the road leads to continuing life as it always has been, the other the sacred. Yes, it is that place we have arrived where humanity and divinity meet. Meaning we are really looking at our life as it stands and asking, “How has this all been working for me?”, “I feel something is missing from my life, yet I have everything I need?” Then as we stand staring at the road and something within our being, a place in our heart, beacons us to take the path of the sacred. We find everything within us feels the “Yes” to walking with God, Our Father, Yahweh, Jehovah, Allah, Supreme Being and we begin. What we have yet to discover is we have always been on the journey with IT, we just have finally decided to have a relationship with it. When one starts out on their spiritual journey we usually have no idea what we are looking for but we know it calls to us. IT hits us directly in the heart. There is an unexplainable longing to commune with this energy which we can only explain as loving. IT draws us into it and what is amazing about this loving momentum is it is unconditional.
As humans we long for connection and we seek until we find it with like minds that celebrate this sacred life. This is what we know as Religion or for some Spirituality. What we know about both is it is belonging to a collective spiritual practice that agrees with who we are on the inside and learning through prayer we can talk to God. Often I am asked, “What is the difference between religion and spirituality?” Well, Religion is for people who are afraid they are going to Hell, Spirituality is for those that have already been there. But both speak of our relationship with God, it’s just a matter of how you want to understand and create that connection. One of the Master teachers of our path to God is Jesus the Christ. He was a way shower to mankind and what he demonstrated was our ability to be in a relationship with the divine. In the New Testament scripture we understand Jesus spent much of his time communing with his own soul, and in that communion he revealed it is through our inner thought that we contact God. Prayer is where we have a conversation with the divine. God knows what is on our hearts. In the book A Course of Love, it says, “God is a relationship with love. If God were to speak to you Himself and tell you of what means your service would be to Him, He would but tell you this…My child, return to me. For we belong to one another. You are the bridge to me. I am the bridge to you. You are the bridge to your brothers and sisters. They are your bridge to yourself.
God talks to our hearts….but it is up to us to listen and take the first step.
