Are We Doing Enough?

God is always good for us. Good in the sense that It provides us all that is needed in the moment if only we can wake up to what’s going on around us and through us.

But, we have to help ourselves first before It can help us. We can’t sit around whole day, whole life, waiting for Divine Spirit to lower itself down to our level. Doing so, will be working against its true nature and purpose, which is always moving forward, always uplifting those who seek it in truth and sincerity.

The expression, “God helps those who help themselves” is apt here. Our role in initiating action is vital, for it determines how we receive from God. We need to do enough to open ourselves in order to receive God’s gifts. In other words we have to earn the gifts. And we don’t earn them by not putting effort and time in. We don’t earn them by not working for them. The bigger the gift we expect, the harder we have to work.

With this attitude, life will reward us a hundredfold. Our relationship with life will continually be harmonious and enriching. Our journey home to God will get easier as we sharpen our survival skills.

Through an improved relationship with God, our level of consciousness expands. With this expansion comes greater understanding and enjoyment of life like never imagined before. Giving us deeper meaning and purpose for our life as we become aware of our true mission. Divine spirit has the ability to open us to new ways of how God operates. It has the power to heal us emotionally, mentally, physically, and spiritually if we merit it.

It has the power to protect us in times of danger. But, are we doing enough to allow Divine Spirit in our lives to operate more freely, more willingly, at a more conscious level?
