Deep down we each have a question in our hearts. We want to know that we matter. We want to believe that when all is said and done we have played an important role in this world. It is both a question of the ego and of the heart. It is what drives us to keep going when all the chips are down. Even when we do not have a specific answer to our question, the seeking and the life of the question within us will propel us to keep going forward. Our ego has some grand designs for what this looks like–usually having to do with accumulation of things, proof that we are important, or approval from those around us for what we say and do. Our spirits sense of this importance is a bit more simply and has to do with today. How can I be of use in the world today? How can I be my true self (LOVE, God made manifest) and show the world a version of God? If I am taken care of, how can I be of service? These are the profound and simple questions with which our spirit starts the day. We get a kiss from God in the form of a new breath at the dawn of our day and are reconnected with this sense of self deep down with which to face the world and live out our mission. Depending on how long you have been up, might determine how far you are away from that sense already. The world around us bombards us from the get-go with other ideas but the moment we stop and take a breath we can be reminded of that first kiss and realign ourselves with the Spirit within. My prayer for us today is that we be willing to look for a simple way to fulfill the longing in our hearts to be useful. Make it a great one! Peace~Colleen
