Growing Closer To Divinity

Growing Closer To Divinity

I awaken and am greeted with a message of wisdom, I endeavour to fathom the meaning

I feel grateful, for many years I did not even acknowledge it, nor comprehend that such a central idea existed

The fog oft times clears and I can feel what is being imparted, lifes significance becomes more unobstructed

It is good to experience emotion, for this also I owe my gratitude

Lingering listening, it feels as though self love is conceivable, it is good to know I have support

In turn the love of self helps me to love others, especially those close to me who have shown me their adoration

Walking through the forest I can feel His touch through the trees and the life that surrounds me

When I listen closely I can imagine His voice in the song of birds, his breath is the wind

Why then is it so difficult to put my life in His hands when I can feel their warmth

There is still so much work to be done internally before I become ready to meet Him

I must learn to trust more in the inner voice for that is how he communicates His will for me

My will, the voices I hear in my head, often get me into difficulty

When I am amongst those who do not comprehend Him, I am often saddened

It is difficult and often lonely the path I have chosen, for so few travel the same direction

I must not give into the loneliness altering my ways just to please others

Nor should I go into seclusion if I feel unwanted or left out

For isolation can make me pompous and resentful, causing me to pass judgement

I need rely on His strength, He will do for me what I can't do for myself

Life is often difficult, and their are many outside pressures

At these troublesome times I need His wisdom most, I have to separate my duties from His

I do what I need to, I learn to cope and release stress

I attempt to balance my heart, body and mind so that my spirit may grow

There are so many old thoughts, the influence of the past can be very cunning and strong

It is sometimes so difficult to hear His message through all the head noise

I must listen to my heart so I can put my will aside and accept his

The demons of the past, of my own creation, need be exorcised so I may hear Him clearly

At the end of a day I humble myself, thank Him for what has been provided

It is necessary for me to feel gratitude for the lessons He has taught me

My humility helps weed out my self will, gratitude helps me to accept His

If these principles are followed inner peace will be realised, my state a reflection of my efforts

Serenity is the knowledge that He attends to me with love that is unconditional

I ready myself, so when my time on earth is over I am prepared for his everlasting embrace
