"... compassionate humility"


Those who forever question life’s purpose tend to reach a time when the struggle to understand so exhausts the mind that the subconscious—our higher, spiritual, self—takes over.  This divinely self-protective measure at once frees us of crippling egoism and blesses us instead with compassionate humility.  Our soul is laid bare: we are again one with God, alive in the fullness of His love.

Instinctively we know this new-found sense of spiritual empowerment is not in itself enough.  With no thought of resting on our laurels, we discover the joy of giving freely of ourself to others, all the while manifesting God’s goodness and His love.  In the doing we are even further blessed in that we awaken to the fact that we have become part of a community of like-minded souls.

“… compassionate humility”

In my heart of hearts, I know I’ve not always given freely of myself
Unaware of my ego in full flight, I thought I was the ‘perfect’ volunteer, friend, sister. 
In today’s *meditation class these words stirred my soul… “God melts me and turns me into gold”.  I am forever grateful.  blw

Jennifer's email says, "Each time I receive your reflections it feels like “God” is asking me to just take a moment and “commune with these two wonderful people”. Sometimes I do, sometimes I push back thinking I am too busy, too distracted, or too …….. Then when I do stop and read, both of you have pearls of wisdom to add to my life. I so love the “God melts me and turns me into gold”."
