Divine Discontent: Learning to Live by Your Own Lights
Grace strikes us when we are in great pain and restlesness. . . . Sometimes at that moment a wave of light breaks into our darkness and it is as though a voice were saying : "You are accepted." ~ Paul Johannes Tillich
When we practice switching on our "spiritual electricity" we should expect more energy, more amazing and delightful coincidences and the ability to accomplish goals with grace.
The one thing you might not anticipate is the dissatisfied feeling you have when a Higher Power isn't present. It can manifest itself in different ways. Suddenly you don't like a particular room in your house. Your clothes don't fit or look right on you anymore. You're bored with your meals and sick of opening that certain closet and have everything piled up at your feet. Your gratitude becomes restless discontent. You begin to think that simple abundance isn't working for you.
This is called Divine Discontent. It is the grit in the oyster before the pearl.
Today's challenge: Learn to spin straw into gold. Realize that this is the turning point. Be grateful.
Today's exercise: Write down 10 things you are grateful for in this moment.
