Spiritual Awakening:Seeking A Better Way!!!
Today I was asking GOD to help me find a better way of doing things so that those that perceive that I may have wronged them will let go and look at me for who I am today not the person I was years ago. He delivered this song which tells us to speak the truth. Speaking and walking in your truth is the best way. I often reach out to people I dealt with in the past to see if I can be of service and value to them now despite what may have occurred in the past. In doing so sometimes I find them to be very happy and in some cases they don’t want to speak to you as they haven’t let go of the past and haven’t looked at the role they played in the situation. The key to finding a better is to seek forgiveness for past transgressions and to forgive those that you perceive to have harmed you. I have come to grips that I have made some decisions that may not have seemed like the proper decision by others but in my heart I knew I did what GOD had directed me to do as GOD wants you to find the best way according to his plan.
When I heard the story behind this song I began to think the best way is to forgive and to let it go and to move on. I have been practicing not to judge and to understand that many people may not have the capacity yet to forgive. Such was the case with a contact that I made after several years who stated I had burnt a bridge and the bridge can not be rebuilt. This struck a chord with me and than I meditated on it for a while and realized that there are more people that think highly of me then those that do not. I realized some people have not evolved to look at who I have becoming and how I am growing personally, professionally, and spiritually. I can forgive them and realize that until they let go it will be them who are blocked from becoming a spiritually enlightened person free from blockages. I have learned it is not my job to try to correct the past it is my job to learn from it so that I can move forward. I have learned when you seek forgiveness it forces the other person to look at the role they played in the situation and if they aren’t ready to do that they will through up many defenses like the statement about burning a bridge. I have found a better way and that is to own up to the role you played and then make corrections accordingly. The strongest people are the ones who can forgive and move forward.
It is when we realize that not everyone will come along with us to make things better that we can begin to work on the plan that GOD has for us. I have come to realize that if I do what is perceived to be righteous in GOD’S eyes that I will be able to find a better way. One of the best ways is to realize that we can not change the past we can only learn from it and if people do not see us as we are now and hold a vision of us from what happened years ago that is their issue not ours and we must move past it and start to work on the greater things to be done in our city. I have come to realize that if you are doing things for applause and recognition instead of to honor and praise GOD you have not found the better way. I have come to learn that as long as there are people who still focus on being right instead of doing the right thing there will be conflict and this conflict will hinder us and not help us thus we must ask ourselves how hanging on to these thoughts serve us. When we release that which no longer serves us we can affect change and make our community great by finding a better way.
I have found a better way can simply be achieved by trying a little kindness. When you combine forgiveness with kindness you will see there is a better way. It is when you seek to find a better way that you improve your life and the lives of those you associate with. Make a commitment to find a better way. Stay Positive!!! God Bless!!! Namaste!!!
