DAY 25

Your love has made me sure. I am ready
to forsake this worldly life and surrender
to the magnificence of Your Being.

Rumi

IT’S AN INSIDE JOB!

The awakening you crave is a function of the inner life. It can never be realized through circumstances, relationships, or accomplishments. In other words, you cannot find true satisfaction outside of fulfilling your highest destiny: realization of your oneness with Spirit.

I want you to wake up today! If you believe that you will be complete after you find the right relationship, the better job, a bigger house, that hotter investment, the accomplishment of a particular goal, you are asleep in the, which is the sleep of delusion. Any such fulfillment is only temporary. The quest of looking for wholeness outside of yourself is not the way it works. It’s an inside job.

Failure to recognize the true nature of your life’s quest creates a syndrome of identity crisis. It will continue until you turn within to the only true source of fulfillment and develop an active relationship with supreme Reality. Begin now to cultivate your spiritual sensitivity to the Presence. Talk to Spirit in the language of your heart and notice how sweetly and eagerly it responds to you.

Today, know that the Spirit delights in bestowing heavenly treasures upon you. If you are callous to the truth that Spirit “stands at the door and knocks,” how shall it come into your experience? Cultivate sensing and knowing that Spirit longs to fully give of itself to you. Live, move, and have your awareness in this reality and you will come to understand what Jesus meant when he said, “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” The door of receptivity opens from the inside. Today, swing it wide open and expect a blessing that will fill your heart to overflowing.

AFFIRMATION

I sense the Presence at the center of my being. My mind, heart, and soul drink deeply from this divine well and forever quench my thirst.
