What if the whole reason we are placed on this earth is to be God for one another? To carry a message of light and hope and abundance and joy? My ego scoffs at that idea–what about me? What about making a difference and showing the world who I am? Well, what about that–what if those ideas are the same but only seem contradictory. What if showing the world who I am is showing the world an element of God made manifest? Hmm. Perhaps the two are the same it is just who or what gets the credit. It reminds me of when I used to teach. Some of my high achieving students were so concerned about the grades that they received, they cared little about the lessons they were learning on the way. They wanted to know if the answer that they gave was right. I wanted to know how they came to the answer that they had in mind. I wanted to see how God was manifesting in their world, they wanted to know that they were god-like and perfect. What if the answer was yes already? What if there was nothing to do or achieve or become? What if we are already what we are striving to do and be? What if we have just lost connection with our source of power? What if it really is about the journey and not the destination? This might explain why we never quite get there. Or why we when do get there, we think, “Is this it?” “Is this what my heart was really striving for?” In the many, many times that i have turned to God full of questions, wanting to know why and how, I often get a simple answer back in a soft quiet voice, God says to me “I AM”, “I AM with you”, and “I AM within you.” My job is to suit up and show up, let go of my ego so that God can work through me–easier said than done at time, I know. Simpler than our minds thing is possible, I know. Yet true still the same. Most spiritual concepts are simple and clear. My prayer for you today is that you are able to connect with your true source of power and being, know that you already are all that you want to be and that you have an amazing opportunity to channel God to the world in your own special way. Make it a good ride today! Peace~Colleen
