Believe This:  There is so much more to each one of us than we are willing to let others in on.  Routinely we gather and store up our essence for the sake of our safety, sanity and sometimes even for the sake of others.  I know that there are moments that we all find ourselves living a partial life, not stepping fully into the light of our own Truth or hanging on to the very best of ourselves for a moment that is not yet.  It is as if we are saving up the joy, the grace, the peace and the love for just the right moment in time or for the right person or opportunity.  It almost seems noble, until it is not. 

Beloved, if we hold onto the profound, the magnificent and the majestic elements of our being, we are not living fully and freely.  We are depriving the world of our greatness, one moment and breath at a time.  Yet we look at the world and call for peace, we look into the eyes of children in search of hope and hold tightly to the hands of the elder while waiting for wisdom.  It is if we are waiting for someone else to arrive, to step, to stand out and to make it so.  The real Truth is so simple; we are they, them, those, her and him.   Some would say that we have been wasting time and energy and I beg to differ; I believe that we are wasting away.  What if we arose on this glad morning in the fullness of our God given call to life?  What if the words that we speak today, stirred life in others?  What if our living is the very catalyst that awakens passion in another?  What if? 

Today, I am going to do one thing differently.  This day, I affirm and know that I am more interested in who God is calling me to be, than I am in who some may be trying to stop me from becoming.  Gone are the days that someone’s approval set my soul in motion.  Gone are opportunities for others to divert my soul’s evolution.  Arriving right now in me is the sweet peace that is unfolding within.  Here to stay is the blessing of knowing that we are seen and held by the One who sent the One to show us the way.  More love, more light, more compassion, more wisdom and more grace is right where you  are and is calling you to a higher place of consciousness.  This is nothing but the Truth!  Now go from here and know that every part of your  blessed and beloved being is guided and guarded by all that is Holy.  Put your whole self in and nothing less!  Selah…
