In the Hebrew and Christian scriptures they use the word commandment to point to describe the laws that God puts in place for man.  These commandments can also be seen as paths to love.  After all, God is love, why would God command something that is not of God?  We often take these commandments as rules.  As though by following them we get some sort of prize for doing good.  The reality of it is that anything that God is going to direct or command will be in alignment with who we truly are.  So if you find that you are struggling with a commandment, perhaps it is because that area of your life lacks the power of God.  The same goes for “sin.”  The definition of the word is “missing the mark.”  When we are off track, outside of love, then we miss the mark and we experience suffering.  All the rules of religions, while seemingly constrictions, are meant to help get us back on the mark.  Then we can be in alignment with who we truly are . . . LOVE.  My prayer for you today is that you look at what is commanding your life.  If it is love, then do more of that.  If it is not love, then do less of it, just for today.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
