There is only one life. That life is God’s life. That life is perfect. That life is this life right now. It is in, around and through all that is, the seen and the unseen, the known and the unknown, creating anew from itself in each moment. It's divine nature is at the center of the formed and the yet to be. It is the eternal heart, body, mind and Spirit inherent in all that is. It enfolds all in Its boundless love and intelligence, always acting on behalf of it's creation for the highest and greatest good.
And so this one life is the source of my beingness. I am created, supported and sustained by this all loving and powerful, everywhere present Mother-Father God. I am inseparable from it, connected through it to all of life. There is no place where I end and God’s life begins.
From this understanding, I speak this prayer for and about myself and all of Life. I take time to reflect, contemplate and meditate each day. I practice self-forgiveness where I have negative self judgements. I stay curious about what unmet need I may be trying to fulfill. I take a moment to feel sadness, and remorse, rather than guilt and shame. I breathe out and let it go. I recognize I can only give to others that which I have first given to myself. I affirm and accept this spiritual truth for all beings. I celebrate the presence of the divine in how life is showing up, and ways that it is not.
Thank you, life!
I rest in this shift in consciousness that is known and done before this prayer was spoken. I let go and let God. And so it is. Amen
