“My spiritual quest is the painful process of learning to let go of things not essential.”
---Bill Welsh
Sometimes days are not filled with what you wish for or what you hope for but come with problems and issues that seem unsolvable. If you trust in your Lord you know that He will bring for you the essentials of life; what you need, what you have to learn and what you need to grow spiritually. It seems that if you don’t get what you want you suffer; if you get what you don’t want; you suffer; even when you get exactly what you want you still suffer because you can’t hold on too it forever.
Every day when you wake up, you have been given another gift from your God. Right before you, sent by Him, a whole day to use in the best possible way and He allows you to determine the outcome with your choices. Sometimes your day will come with sadness, deception or even tears. But at other times it will come full of surprises, happiness, success and achievements. So if you start each day with trust, love and enthusiasm, it may just be the day your dreams of a wholesome life will come true. We all have wants needs and desires and I hope that this message brings you some essentials of spiritual growth and enlightenment.
