With
but little thought it should come as no surprise that we are, each one of us,
unlike any other: each destined to find his or her own way in life. To be sure,
there is a path that unites us; one that acknowledges our own God-given
goodness.
Though not visible
to the naked eye, life’s many providential guideposts are there for all to
see were we to look within.
Fundamental to our
embracing ever-abiding goodness is that of self-honesty, all the while paring
away layer upon layer of worldly habits that obscure the diving light of our
life-giving soul. Bit by bit we free ourself of crippling ego. Selfishness is
overcome by concern for others, ever looking for the good in each person. We
learn to give thanks for that which befalls us and to trust in others, which,
of itself, invites trust. Life’s setbacks are viewed as but stepping stones to
even greater heights. Self-doubt becomes self-confidence, while self-importance
falls prey to humility. Not least, we learn to love ourself and others. The transformative
power of goodness abounds within us.

“…providential
guideposts…”
During this morning’s *meditation class Judi
shared a story… she, at one time, attended art school. At a certain point during the year each
student was to meet with the teacher to discuss their art portfolio. As the
teacher was commenting on the art work she noticed how uninterested Judi appeared
to be. The teacher stopped talking, looked at Judi and said, “You don’t believe you can draw.”
With this example, Judi looked at our class and
said, “You don’t believe you are a Soul.” I… felt…
exposed…
Judi said, “what
can God say to help you understand that you are a soul?” I just didn’t know what word or thought would
break the code of my stubbornness to fully realize Spiritual Truths for me.
This question didn’t leave my mind. Driving home, I boldly said, “God, what can you say to make me believe…
?” I don’t remember finishing my
sentence… I heard, “I love you, Bonnie.”
My providential guidepost… I will forever
remember this moment… life changing. blw
