Challenges tailored specifically for our weaknesses come to us each day in different forms, not as an act of punishment from Life to us, but as an act of Love. Spirit knows the positive impact our being stronger in these exact ways will have on our lives. These instances have the possibility of making ancient wrongs within our beings, right, and forging brave, new ground. There is no chance for failure here as we continue to press in and apply ourselves, passionately responding to The Absolute’s overture to us.
When each challenge comes, we are presented with an opportunity.
Our highest objective is to embrace the challenge when it comes, accepting the agitation it may create in our being, asking ourselves, "What can I learn from this? How can this strengthen me. How can I better my life or the lives of others involved in this?" It is this acting out of a sense of inward attentiveness that can help us to make the utmost progress.
In the face of adversity it is easy to be wrapped up in our humanity...that voice that says "I am afraid of...I am angry because..." It is like seeing our lives through dirty glasses.
But if we would relinquish our ego and open ourselves, even for a split second, to see with the eyes of Spirit we could see our situations, our lives as they truly are. Suddenly those dirty glasses are removed and all forms appear in crystal clarity. We are then able to act out of a sense of understanding, peace, love and abandon.
Spirit sees all things as an opportunity and if we choose to see as Spirit sees, we are able to begin to see things that way, too. How differently we would feel and act if this truth grew roots within us!
Today I long to see things as Spirit sees them, and not with the narrowness of my humanity.
