My Faith was slipping away. Where did it go, I wondered?
It feels so much better to not try and control.
What if i were to just let it all go?
What if i were to just exist in the present moment?
FAITH is in the present moment.
If I don’t continue to ask the question “What is this for?”
I most likely will miss the gift and opportunity that is available to me and held within every seeming “problem” that i am experiencing and so worried about.
FAITH.
If I were to truly believe God has got my back. God’s loving Universe is FOR me, and through me, and that there is a gift in everything, how would that affect not only my internal state of being, but directly correlate to my external world and what is in it?
The being is the context in which all content shows up. & faith is a state of being. It is complete trust and confidence in someone or something based on spiritual knowledge rather than proof.
Can i rest in Faith?
Can i be held in Faith?
Do we fear having Faith because we fear being let down or wrong?
What if we dug a little deeper and asked, what was really wrong or let down?
Could it be my own personal will from limited understanding and awareness that was let down?
“Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” - proverbs 3: 5-6
The Lord and The Law, Universal/Spiritual law in this case, can be looked at as interchangeable interpretations of ALL that is. A divine intelligence that permeates all that is.
I don’t even perceive them as separate, but rather, they just speak different languages.
Like English and Spanish are two distinct languages but conveying thoughts, ideas, feelings and information.
Why the need for different languages?
Because the world is so large- and we, as humans, have migrated, oftentimes alone, all over it. We had to discover all different kinds of ways to be in relation to our environment and experience.
We don’t all speak the same language, but we all are connected at some fundamental level.
Instead of living in this idea of separation, which is illusory, can we see just a bit beyond that and understand the interconnection between all things?
Can we see from a different perception or vantage point?
If not, zooming out a little and you might see it.
Just like a map, where it appears that the continents are separate, but then you zoom out a little and see that the Earth is holding all of it. It’s the greater context… and if you zoom out even more, you see the seemingly separate planets are also being held by the greater context of the Galaxy, and so on and on.
“In my fathers house there are many rooms” - John 14:2
Can we move into another mental context, go beyond the room of our limited thinking, and Trust in the Lord with all of our heart?
That is Faith.
And what would happen if I were to choose for Faith? Well…
Mark 9:23 “All things are possible for one who has Faith”
Matthew 17: 20-21 “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.”
