Each of us came into this world for a unique and specific purpose that no one else can quite fulfill. Spirit planted in the midst of us has individualized as you and as me for a reason. We can never discover, however, what the reason is by humanly evaluating our capabilities and capacities. It can be discovered only as we become inwardly still, turning within and seeking the answers to such questions as: Why am I here? Why was I brought forth into this experience at this particular time? What is the work that is given to me to do? What is the plan for me?
We think we know what we should do, and this is where we lose our way. We are much too full of “I want to do this; I want to achieve that.” The Spirit within may have an entirely different purpose for us, and we might miss it completely unless we become attuned to divine guidance and direction. Only as we fulfill the divine purpose does life take on real meaning and become what it was meant to be, a joy.
There is divine activity in operation. It never ceases. This balanced rhythmic activity of Spirit functions as fulfillment. It does not matter what our background is or what our past experience has been. God knows no barriers to fulfillment in expressing as us. It does not matter what our age is, and this is a ‘toughie’ because we live in a youth-oriented world. Nevertheless, God still expresses as us.
The only thing that can stop this expression is our unwillingness to surrender our desires. So, in our silent meditation and prayer, let us be receptive and responsive to the spiritual impulse and then go about doing the work of the day wherever we are and whatever the nature of our work.
Infinity is the measure of our being, but we settle for very little because we have accepted the bondage imposed upon us by world beliefs in economic cycle.We settle for human activity with all its competition, struggle and striving, when all the time this Presence within us, which is love, is knocking at the door of our consciousness, begging us to listen to guidance and direction.
