You Are a Branch of the Tree of Life

Are there times in your life that you feel alone and helpless and you don't know where to turn for answers?  Here's a simple analogy to help you get through those times.

Think of a tree, imagine the most magnificent tree you've ever seen.  The branches and leaves are a part of that tree, they are an expression of the tree's beauty.  The branches and the leaves are nourished by the tree and it would foolish of them to look outside of the tree for any need.

Likewise, you are a branch of the Divine Tree of Life.  Thus, the glory and beauty of the Divine is expressed through you.  You are an intimate part of the Divine Tree of Life so, in those difficult times, just turn within to the Tree for nourishment because looking anywhere else would be foolish.

You are Designed for Success

Have you ever thought about all the wonderful things that happen within your body to sustain your life?  In every breath you take there is an exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in your lungs, in every beat of your heart blood is circulated throughout your entire body, in just the movement of your fingers millions of nerve impulses happen instantaneously.   All the billions of interactions that take place within your body each minute of every day is mind blowing and they all happen without your conscious effort.

Now think about this, would a God that took the time to design such a complex and wonderful creation as you ever want you to live an ordinary life?  No, you are God's gift to the world, designed by It's hand to live an extraordinary life.  You are made for success, why else are you so magnificently created?

The Answer is in Letting Go

Do you often you find yourself struggling to maintain something in your life whether it be your income, your health, or a relationship.  This means you are trying to do things through your own human effort.  You grit our teeth and try to plow right through the situation.  There is an easier way to live, it's called letting go and letting God.

Even Jesus, the Master Teacher said, "of myself I can do nothing, it is the Father in me that does the work."  You see Jesus knew just as all great spiritual masters know, the Power that created the Universe, and causes the sun to rise and set also created you and I.  This Loving Intelligence we call God will maintain and sustain us if we but let It do so.

Have you ever struggled with an issue for so long that it wore you down and you threw up you hands and gave up, and shortly thereafter the problem was magically solved.  That's because you gave up on solving the problem through your own human effort and you let it go and the moment you let go, God revealed the perfect answer.

You see God is your loving Father who will govern, guard, and guide you in all you do when you let go of the need to do things your way.  So, when you find yourself struggling with the problems of life, just let go and let God.

Truth Heals All

Many people struggle with a feeling that something in their lives needs fixing and they go here and there looking for the solution when all they need do is look inside themselves for the answer.  For, all healing is nothing more than the realization of your unity with God.  Seek this union in your prayers and all things in your life will be made whole, and you will lose that feeling of something needing to be fixed in your life.

One of my favorite mantras is, there is nothing to be healed, only Truth be revealed.

The Spiritual Law of Unconditional Love

The spiritual law of Unconditional Love says that there is a Loving Divine Presence at the center of your life that created you for a purpose, and loves you beyond human comprehension.   You were born with a gift, something that you can do in a special way that no one else can do.  When you trust in the Divine completely to unfold this talent in your life you will be supported and your every need will be met easily and harmoniously.

This Law supersedes all the other spiritual laws for it rests in the energy of Unconditional Love which is the highest energy there is.  Nothing is greater than the Divine’s unconditional love for Its creation and you are the Divine’s creation.  When you become conscious of this truth you know that all things are possible, for you realize that there is nothing that Divine Love cannot overcome.

The Divine wants you to be healthy, happy, and fulfilled, and in order to realize this in your life you must come to an understanding that you are the Divine expressing Itself as you.  You are united with the Divine and all of creation and nothing can dissolve this union and when you are conscious of this all things take their proper place in your life.  The Divine is always working for good on your behalf but you must be open to receive this goodness in your life; this is the point of trust.  If you could come to a place of complete trust in the Divine for your every need, your life would flow easily and harmoniously with very little stress and strain.  You would have no thought of how your needs would be met tomorrow and you could live fully each day completely pouring yourself into your life’s purpose.  How good would it feel not worry about the future and know that all your future needs would be met?  How much anxiety and stress would be alleviated from your life if you could live each day fully knowing that you would always have enough for all your tomorrows?  Trusting in the Divine’s unconditional love for you is where you will find this.

The Divine created you to express Itself in and through your life.  It knows how and will provide for your every need but, in order to do so, you must trust in the Divine completely.  The problem is most people don’t trust in the Divine to meet their daily needs.  Instead of letting their Divine gift unfold in their lives they seek things they think will satisfy their needs and once accomplished they are not fulfilled.  That unfulfilled feeling is always your soul seeking its true purpose.

Through the Law of Cause and Effect mentioned previously the Divine has given you the power to create anything in your life that you desire.   Thus, using this law intelligently to create what you want in life is the beginning of taking charge of your life.  However, most people are not fulfilled by the things they manifest in their lives because they think that material things can satisfy their desires.

Real lasting satisfaction in your life can only come in fulfilling the purpose for which you were created.  As I mentioned earlier, the Divine made you to express Itself in and through your life.  You have a Divine seed planted within you that is begging to born and this is your life’s purpose.  You can only bring this seed to fruition through Trusting the Divine and letting It govern, guard, and guide you daily. 

How do I know my life’s purpose you ask?  You can only find your life’s purpose in surrender of personal will to Divine will.  This is done by earnestly seeking Divine guidance in your life daily.

Heaven is not some place in the sky you go to when you die. Heaven is a state of consciousness of your unity with the Divine.  When you are in this state of consciousness you can materialize heavenly things right here on earth.  In your unity with the Divine you have access to all that you will ever need in life.  For the much sought after Kingdom of God is a state of consciousness of the Presence of God and when realized all your needs are met easily and harmoniously.
