When we know, who walks beside us, on this path we have chosen, our fears fall from us.

The Presence And The Gift

When we find ourselves drifting out of the present moment dwelling either in the past or projecting into the future we must be wary for the most deadly spiritually deadly trap, morbid reflection, lurks here. When thinking about the past what usually surfaces; the overwhelming number of times when things went well, when we did the right thing or those times when we were less than our best or were treated badly? When considering the future do we ponder along the lines of things will be great, seeing ourselves walking hand and hand with the Spirit of the Universe or something darker? Living on the Spiritual Basis our focus has been altered, instead of seeing only the carnal and secular, the finite, our vision is lengthened and broadened as we have begun to comprehend the infinite.

Fear is a powerful adversary, forever trying to steer us from the light and morbid reflection one of its favorite tools. When used constructively our past is an asset, becoming a resource to teach those who seek answers from us, of what life was like before and after choosing to Live on the Spiritual Basis. Our future is a promise, chapters unwritten, our lives the paper, the ink our faith, the pen in our hand guided by a Power Greater Than Ourselves. God does not dictate the script, for of all creation we alone have free will in Spirit, but He will be our partner in the story of our lives if we remain open and willing.

The only time we can stand in the presence of God, the only time we can be present for God, the only time God can act in our lives is in the present moment. Living on the Spiritual Basis we now have a history of God’s love and direction in our lives, the past an asset, the future a promise, today the gift.
