Receiving and giving strength and inspiration.

You are given your life in part for the purpose of understanding self. That is not a selfish act that is centered upon the importance of self but rather the acknowledgment of the need for true honesty as a way of filling the soul with love. One may find in such pursuit grounds for self-judgment, for guilt, for a sense of uselessness. Some may choose to look out and hope to see God’s light coming in. That light does not come through the clouds. It comes through those closest to you just as God’s light comes through you to others. It is not a magic vision coming from the heavens above.

If you wish to be inspired and strengthened by God presence, then be willing to be inspired and strengthened by the presence of others. It is in that way that you inspire and strengthen and give light to another. It is because of who you are as understood by the why you are. You become the inspiration, the strength-giver because you feel more closely connected to your soul essence, and in that connectedness, you are empowered to give strength and light to another. It is only through that vulnerability that you ultimately can serve as the hands, eyes, and heart of God.
