WAKE UP!!

Wake up!! In our world of technological advances almost daily, and wild dashes through rat races, we as a people have forgotten that we are SPIRITUAL beings!! We were created from love and all it encompasses!! Reach your hands to the heavens and feel your spirit. Have you tucked away your spirituality until you have time to experience it? 

From my point of view, it seems many of us have. We've become so physically oriented that our spirits have been given second place when in reality, our spirits can live on when our physicality is gone. The glimmer in an old woman's eye, you know, that look you see in an elderly person that you can't quite grasp the meaning? That is the spirit. It isn't growing old as the body has. It is still very much alive. 

Spirituality comes with age. Our life experiences teach us things, important things that change us in many ways. The birth of a child, the death of a parent or grandparent, tragedies and comedies that occur as our physical days go by, these are the influences that awaken and drive us to become more spiritual. 

Someone once said the eyes are windows to the soul. Our souls are our spirits. I mentioned seeing spirit in the eyes of an old person. If you look into the eyes of a serial killer, you will not see soul or spirit. You may see evil, or mischief covering evil, but you will not see spirit.

When a person is lost in the darkness of addiction, the spirit is being hidden behind the addiction. When that person begins searching for spirit, the addiction must subside. Prayer will help in this game of tug of war. God will release the spirit and when He does, addiction will disappear. Even the most affected addict can become clean if he first prays in all honesty to God to release his spirit. Have faith, God can and He will!!

Seek out your spiritual self. Nurture it with whatever nourishment it requires. Use it to speak words of love, compassion and encouragement to others. Use it to release you from shackles that have been placed on you by your own doings and the deeds of others. Lift up your eyes, your heart and your hands in thanks and in prayer. Feel your spirit soar!!

This post took a total of five minutes from the idea to the finished product. I am following my heart by posting it. Maybe it will help someone if anyone ever reads it. God Bless!!
