We are told not to fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Through the power of God’s being, He has linked us to the creative source of all existence. Within that place we are safe—even from those who would kill the body.
But this means that our perspective can and must change. Most of us spend our lives defending ourselves against assaults on the body. Our lives are spent protecting our psyches, our emotions, our fortunes, our health, our reputations.
This turns our lives defensively inward and we live in a very small spiritual space. But when we live out of our divine center, we breathe the air of real spiritual freedom. We are no longer cramped and fearful and we move into the wide expanse of the divine will. In this beautiful and terrifying place, we follow how God prompts us.
What nudges do you need to listen to in your life?
Lord, thank you for always leading us towards your expansive goodness, living in real spiritual freedom.
