Faithfulness

Faithfulness- being full of faith, expectation of good or God. When we are spiritually full, by being being centered in our truth and living from our heart and authentically, we are full of faith, or faithful.

We usual here the word faithful, in relational terms, which is correct. When you are in love, and focused on a primary "other" you are faithful to them. It is only when your relationship is out of sync that, you have a wondering eye and begin looking for Love elsewhere. It is the same in life. When your relationship with God, yourself and others, you have this feeling of something isn't right.

It is during these times of life feeling off that I am more apt to choice some idol ( something i look to for love instead of God) it may be food, sex, shopping, alcohol or anything to medicate this feeling of unease. when in fact, these are times, I need to step aside and get my heart centered back in the divine and find the Peace that passes all understanding.

That is why the title of this ministry and blog, is Re-Connection. I not only had to reconnect with God, myself and others, when I first came to terms with my whole truth about my life, but it is something I have to actively seek daily. It is easy to get distracted and get disconnected from truth of who God Is (not how religion defines God), who I am ( My unique expression of Life that God created me to manifest) and to who others really are. Not who their ego is or the false mask they attempt to wear, but who they really are, a child of God who also has a unique expression of life that God has called them to manifest, whether or not they are or not.

Are you being faithful to God? Maybe you don't want to be. If you don't, then I submit that you probably have a false idea of who God is. When you know God as God is- Love, Life, Mercy, Peace, then you cannot help but fall in love and want a relationship with Him. Again not as defined by religion or some church, but as defined by the personal revelation you have of him. Let him reveal himself to you, and it will change your life.

Are you being faithful to yourself? Do you love you? If not, then you probably have a false perception of who you are. God wants to redefine who you think you are. You are His beloved, you are beautiful and unique. This world needs you. God made you to be an expression of His life and Love that nobody else can be. No one can be you! It hurts my heart, when i read of another young person taking their life. No one can replace them, and the human family now has a void that can never be replaced. There was only one.

Are you being faithful to others? If not maybe it is because you have a false perception of them. WHen you understand who we are and who God created us to be, you can only respond with Love. Most of the time we see the mask that people have learned to wear, to protect their truth from each-other. It is rare that you meet a authentic, real soul. We work so hard to fit in, when we were created to stand out. In fact when people are acting "ugly" we are seeing their ego lashing out from their wounded ness. If we can see them as wounded and or hurting, it can change the way we respond. At least it will shift our understanding of their behavior. A person is more than their behavior. This does not excuse bad behavior, but it does explain it. This understanding also enabled us to forgive. Yes and even forgive ourselves of bad behavior and choices. You cannot receive forgiveness for yourself, until you give it to others. Not because God is unwilling to give it, but because unforgiveness blocks it. I feel the need to explain forgiveness, it doesn't mean to justify wrong behavior or let someone off the hook, it simply means not to allow the wrong choice to have power over your life and the direction it is supposed to go. WHether that wrong choice was yours (then you must forgive yourself) or the wrongs of others. Let them go, stop rehearsing the wrongs in life. You must if you want to embrace the blessings of Life.

Faithfulness comes from Love. It comes from being connected with God, our true self and others.
