Life’s Purpose - Embracing Spirituality
“I will be a spiritual person and connect to something higher than myself. I will concern myself with being the best person I can be for myself and others. I will be guided by thoughts and actions that are kind and in my best interest, and the best interest of others.”
Spirituality is the quality of being concerned with the human spirit or soul rather than being concerned with material or physical things. Spirituality includes a belief that there is something bigger than ourselves and involves a search for meaning in life. It is about seeking a meaningful connection with a higher being which can result in positive emotions such as awe, peace, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance.
Thoughts and actions that are kind and in the best interest of others. That sounds like love your neighbour as yourself or do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
Permit me to share my personal belief.
I am connected to my creator, God. Because He loves us so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to live among us and to help us know more about God. Jesus died on the cross for my sin. He is risen and is alive today. He sent the Holy Spirit to live within us and guide us as we seek to live for Him.
The creator of the universe cares about all of his creation. As Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind and to love your neighbour as yourself.
Another verse that comes to mind is: Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths. Proverbs 3:5-6.
Because I have this connection with my Creator, I have peace, contentment, gratitude, and acceptance. My God is an Awesome God!
