THE TWO SPIRATIONS

Inspiration and perspiration. Perspiration is pretty straight forward, but what of inspiration? The word comes from the Latin inspiratio: to breathe in. Respiration is the intake and exhaling of air, spiritual inspiration is the intake of guidance and knowledge from the Divine, the exhale the demonstration of the new understanding and direction. Our only job in this life is to realize our hearts desire, the thing that God designed each of us for, the work that each of us are uniquely gifted to accomplish. In realizing our heart’s desire, we are demonstrating God’s will, stepping out in faith, demonstrating over fear. Seek inspiration and guidance, through prayer and meditation in realizing this and everything else will fall into place. When we embrace our hearts desire, we are inspired and take no notice of the perspiration, we “Work hard-but do not make hard work of it.”
