Each new breath is the embarking of an adventure and filling yourself up with Spirit to fuel your journey. We are invited to embark on the pilgrimage of our life. It is a holy journey to reconnect with the life of our heart. It is no mistake that respiratory system is the name of the physical function of taking in breath to fuel your body. respiring, re-connecting with spirit. This is what God calls us to multiple times per day. We are invited to embark on a pilgrimage that calls us to engage our hearts. The interrelated functioning of our heart and lungs is a natural part of our physical and spiritual existence. Getting fresh oxygen to our lungs allows our heart to keep beating and pumping the blood which carries oxygen to the rest of our body allowing us to take one more step on our pilgrimage. Our breathing in of spirit allows us to open up our hearts to hear, feel, experience, and know God. We cannot know God just in our minds. Integrating our understanding of God in our hearts is what stays with us when we reach the bumpy parts of our pilgrimage. We do meet those difficult times or days or hours in our lives when we think we cannot go on. Our mind tells us that we just can’t do it. In that moment, though we can choose to take another breath. We can be re-inspired. God does not make it difficult for us to reconnect. In fact, it is necessary for our physical survival. If we stop breathing, we stop living.
Be of Pilgrimage!
on January 12, 2016My prayer for us is in the moments of our day that we think we can no longer take the next step in our pilgrimage that we have the courage to take just one more breath.
What steps on this pilgrimage of your life could use some fresh breath to keep you going today? Share in the comments.
