So how
can we peel off another layer and have a deeper relationship with the God of
our understanding?
Through
Trust.
I am
taking it for granted that if you are reading this blog, you do have some type
of faith in a power greater than yourself.
We
will never be able to understand God with our minds or intelligence. Trying to
scientifically prove God will only be met with proof that God does not exist.
We would only be trying to prove the unlimited with our limited abilities.
We can
feel, touch and see God through ourselves, others and nature. We experience God
when we experience peace, love, joy, wisdom, intelligence and creativity.
The
roots of your trust might have come about through a spiritual experience or it
could just have always been there. Each of us is different. There is no one way
that is better than the other. It’s all part of the greater plan for each of
us.
As
life continues, sometimes that trust can be built upon or eroded, depending on
our spiritual maintenance. It really is a simple process. It’s just like
feeding a fire, if you maintain it, it will keep you warm; let it die out and
you get cold. In many ways, our relationship with God is no different from our
relationships with each other; nourish it…cherish it…and it will blossom. So how do we
maintain our trust in God? Through our spiritual practice of prayer, meditation
and reading of bona fide scriptures.
We all
have trust in some form or another. You trust that each day the sun will come
up, right? Do you go to bed wondering if the sun will come up? Do you think to
yourself: What if it doesn’t? What will I do? No, we trust that each day the
sun will come up.
Yes,
trust is there. At times, doubt or fear creeps in, but usually that only
strengthens faith because most times doubt/fear is not real, it is only our
mind creating it.
Trust
me on this one…:)
Namaste,
Michael
