Eight Day of Lent 2016 - Wisdom


I grow in wisdom through forgiveness and release.

Listening to my inner voice keeps me on my path.  I may get my divine messages from a dream, an email, while meditating, from something I read, and/or a conversation with someone.  Knowing that my messages come from God, I see it as pure light RADIATING through me and into my world.

“Christ within me is my glory.  The brightness of God’s presence wipes out all darkness, and I am filled with life and light.” ~ Charles Fillmore

The questions I face every day are not unlike so many others.  How will I react when I am faced with someone who “pushes my buttons”?  Can I go without judging?  Can I balance what I hear and what I say with what I do?  I trust my inner wisdom to make the right choices.  This is because Wisdom is the spiritual capacity of knowing the Truth.  And that which is will set me free.

I have a new Fitbit.  It’s not new, but new to me.  My granddaughter gave it to me.  She upgraded and offered me hers along with a dozen or so colored bands.  I chose the turquoise band because at the time it matched my turquoise fingernail polish.  But in truth, it goes with just about everything I wear and when it doesn’t, I don’t really care.  I like that it counts the calories I burn, the steps I take, the miles I walk and the amount of time I sleep at night.  It does more but I don’t have that programmed in yet.  I use it because it keeps me accountable.  This morning I got an email telling me I needed to charge the battery in my Fitbit and the instructions noted that it might take up to three hours to fully charge.  Bummer.  My husband and I had plans to walk the Mall in a few hours and I would have to leave the Fitbit at home.  Then I remembered I had a pedometer that I could use as backup.  I listened to my inner voice and let go of the concern and went about my morning.  When time to leave arrived, I noticed my Fitbit was fully charged.  It had only been a couple of hours; so I’m guessing it didn’t need a full charge.  I share this because it is a perfect example of an opportunity to get frustrated or disappointed.  Instead, my path was made clear.  Listening to my inner voice, I received two good solutions.  I believe that as we walked around the Mall I could actually feel myself becoming conscious of the Christ radiance.
