FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3, 2010
There was a time in our unfoldment when we believed that our reward for choosing to follow a spiritual path – or a religious one – would be eternal bliss in heaven, resting in the Presence of God.
Today we are paying more attention to the teachings of Jesus. The kingdom of heaven is within, he said. The fields are already white with the harvest. And we now know that we are already, and always, in the Presence of God.
In other words, the rewards of spiritual consciousness are much more immediate than we once thought. The rewards – such as health, prosperity, loving relationships – are available to us in this lifetime. A day at a time we are beginning to claim our Good, and to see it express in every area of life. The changes are dramatic, and sometimes the process of change is confusing.
One area of change that is increasingly important to many of us is the question of ‘right employment.’ What are we to do with our days as the kingdom of heaven unfolds? We no longer make jobs our only source of prosperity. God is our Source, and the experience of God is always an experience of love. So we must, as author Marsha Sinetar advises in the title of her popular book from several years ago, Do What You Love, The Money Will Follow.
Are you doing what you love today? Do you feel God’s abundance infilling our life as a result? If yes, this is a time to appreciate the Power at work, knowing that appreciation will increase the expression and deepen the pleasure. If not, there are wonderful choices open to you. Be still, center in your heart, and know that the love that is God illumines your way, and new avenues of good are opening today. Thank you, God!
