REMEMBERING GOD - BE OF SERVICE

Remembering the bigger picture is...remembering God in all things and circumstances.
If we can remember that nothing is happening to us, everything is happening for us, life could be a lot less dramatic and traumatic.
Faith is the bridge that helps us when things that happen to us and others don't make sense. When something terrible happens and it makes no sense, faith is the bridge that will keep you grounded. You'll say to yourself (when you have faith), I don't understand why this is happening, but I do know You/God have a plan, and its ok that I don't know everything.
When we are able to remember the God of our understanding, throughout the day, as life unfolds, it helps us keep centered and not get too overwhelmed by our feelings of right and wrong, praise or victimization, happy or sad, deserving or undeserving, good enough, not good enough, on and on and on the feelings go, where they stop, only you can control...to an extent.
Service is one of the many things that can be helpful in keeping our focus on the God of our understanding. But at the same time if we are not careful even a solution can become a problem. So its service but with a perspective that will help keep our focus on the goal...trying to remember God as much as possible in all things and circumstances.
In the blogs to come this month, I will touch on service to God, others and to yourself.
Namaste,
Michael
