The Power of Giving: Give Up/Give In May 17, 2009
Rev. David Alexander
This is the last day of the 2009-2010 Pledge Campaign.
As we participate in life—giving our energy and attention to ourselves and others, we therefore create a greater good in our lives.
Any idea that keeps me from being open and receptive to abundance in our life is something to give up.
Visioning is a spiritual practice that elicits and taps into a greater wisdom, a divine intelligence. We connect with the divine pattern of perfection. There is a universal nature and presence that is trying to express through us and all life. When we look at nature, we see abundance, beauty and harmony, expressing in higher and higher levels of beauty and harmony and complexity.
So, in visioning, we start by grounding ourselves and moving into unconditional love. And then we ask the question: “What is God’s highest visions/ idea for me around________________________.
Then we ask, “What must I become/be? Being is more powerful than doing.
Next, ask, “What am I called to do, what are the gifts I have to do/give?
Finally, we ask, “What do I have to release for this vision to come into my life? We’re looking here for the habits that are keeping us from experiencing an abundant life.
Then, we take a step—we “fake it until we make it,” thereby activating the ability to really become our vision.
God’s idea for us is far beyond what we think. Surrendering is giving up so that God can move in. Let go and surrender and take one authentic action and, therefore, our vision is triggered in physical and spiritual area. This is the logical and necessary by-product of your vision when you let-go. The divine nature of spirit must have an outlet. Fretting, being in doubt or worry gets in the way of our vision manifesting. Releasing opens us up.
Change is the ever-present reality of spirit. No matter how far you have come, there will still be more change—there is no time off at the level of the soul.
Give up/surrender to the evolutionary impulse and give in to the power, presence and abundance of God.
Questions to ponder:
1. Do you find that it is hard for you to let things go?
2. What do you want to vision for in your life?
