TRUST

The other day I pondered a statement that I read on the outdoor marquis of a little church near my home. It read "A lot of people know about God, but not many people know God".  The truth is that everyone has his or her own individual version of who or what God is. Like many others who came out of a strong religious training, I was influenced to believe that God was this "person"- (male of course. God was and is referred to as HE) always lurking in the invisible, keeping tabs on us and recording the mistakes (sins) we made which would on a cumulative basis determine our fate when we exited this world. When it came to the God I learned about, fear was the operative word. And heavy on the guilt as well.

Some of the common beliefs people have: God is not interested in me; I certainly am not good enough to deserve God's love; I am angry at God because of what He did to me, or what He did not do for me; I don't want to be a burden so why bother asking; how could there be a God when there is so much pain and suffering in the world....

Years later as I progressed along my journey I discovered that, because of my earlier training, I had downloaded an incorrect impression of who God was. My quest to learn more about the Law of Attraction eventually introduced me to a newer and better version of God, one that feels so much better to me! I was learning about the Unlimited Power of the Universe. The Universal Life Force that connects to each and every one of us. For me, it feels better to call this Spirit or the Universe. I still of course will use the word God, but my belief changed in that God was not one we had to fear. Quite the contrary. God is all loving, all-knowing, all-forgiving, all-perfect, all-powerful and all-allowing. And we are all-worthy and all-deserving to ask and receive.

Do you believe in your connection to the Universe? It is breathing you as you read this. Your life force is your energy. And by better understand the way this Universe operates, we can start to co-create with the Universe who is loving and benevolent and only wants the best for all of us. So we decide what we want, we set that intention and then we TRUST in the Universe who will take it from there. The Universe responds more to how we are feeling rather than the words coming out of our mouth. So sending out a vibration of TRUST, CONFIDENCE AND EXPECTATION will certainly yield a better result than fear, worry and anxiety. It can't be any other way.

I know that in times of uncertainty, it can be a challenge to TRUST that things will work out. Remember what they taught us? "Don't get your hopes up, you will probably get disappointed." Well that is just crazy if you  believe that the Universe or God hears and answers all prayers. It is time to get our hopes up!
